[Stage Direction]
Mr. M. STEELE (South Perth) moved, that the Bills reported this day by the Select Standing Committee on Miscellaneous Private Bills be placed on the Order Paper for consideration by Committee of the Whole this day.
Mr. J. J. DENIS (Joliette) :: Mr. Speaker,
I think both Houses should be made aware of these Bills. The other day a similar motion was passed, and afterwards about twenty-five Bills were presented, including divorce and other private Bills, of which we knew absolutely nothing, the Bills not having been printed and distributed. I do not think it is fair to pass legislation in this way. I might state, further, that such a motion requires the unanimous consent of the House.


Mr. CASGRAIN:: It does not protect
the rights of the people.


Mr. SPEAKER:: Rule 40, which is the
rule governing notice, specifically exempts Private Bills; and my information is that it has been the invariable practice of the House to interpret this rule as requiring no notice of motion in respect to Private Bills. That being so, in my judgment the motion is in order. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.


[Stage Direction]
Bill No. 217 respecting the Calgary and Fernie Railway Company.-Mr. Stevens.

Mr. W. F. KAY (Missisquoi) :: Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of privilege. On page 4011 of unrevised Hansard of May 25, in the vote on the Bill for the Manufacture of Oleomargarine, I find my name among those voting for the amendment, which is quite correct. I find, however, that my name is also given in the list of pairs furnished by the whips. I beg to state that before I came into the chamber I was advised by the chief whip on my side that there were no pairs.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Did the hon. member vote?


William Frederic Kay: Yes.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: 
Mr. A. B. COPP (Westmoreland) :: Mr. Speaker, in view of the announcement that the work of the census enumerators is to begin on the first day of June, I beg leave to direct the attention of the right hon. Minister of Trade and Commerce (Sir George Foster) to information I have received that, although about one-third of the population in the city and one-half of the population of the county of Moncton are French speaking, the enumerators appointed-


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Order.


Arthur Bliss Copp: I want to ask a question.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Even so, the hon. member could hardly do that on the Orders of the Day. Apparently the enumerators have been appointed, and the hon. member is in effect calling attention to an omission on the part of the Government, which he could not do at this stage.


Arthur Bliss Copp: No, Mr. Speaker, I want to know if my information is correct that the census enumerators appointed in that section are not French-speaking gentlemen.


Right Hon.   S@: My attention was called to this by the Prime Minister and I referred the question to the Dominion Statistician. I have not yet received word from him. My impression is that enumerators have already been appointed and have been under instruction.
I have always thought it was only right that amongst the enumerators in French settlements of English-speaking counties, there should be gentlemen who understood the French language.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Otherwise it is impossible to carry on the work in some sections.



GRAIN INQUIRY

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. A. K. MACLEAN (Halifax):: I would like to ask the Minister of Trade and Commerce a question which, even without formal notice on the Order Paper, pos-
sibly he might answer to-morrow. What salaries are being paid to members of the Royal Commission now conducting an inquiry into the grain business in the western provinces; also what are the names of the secretaries, reporters and staff employed, together with their salaries.


Sir GEORGE FOSTER (Minister of Trade and Commerce) :: I will give my hon. friend a complete answer to the question to-morrow.



BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (leadei
of the Opposition): We have had one 01 two assurances from the Prime Ministei that all the legislation the Government intends to bring down has been brought down, but I understand that the Government still has some legislation in contemplation. May I ask for a definite assurance as to any further legislation which is to be introduced, either in the Senate or in the House of Commons, and if none is contemplated, to be so informed?
Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Prime Minister) :: I do not think I have given any assurance in that regard that has not been correct, nor do I think there is any further legislation. Of course there is the Bill of which notice was given yesterday, but I cannot think of any further legislation that the Government has in mind.



JUDGES ACT AMENDMENT

[Stage Direction]
Consideration of a message from the Senate insisting upon its second and third amendments to Bill No. 60, to amend the Judges Act.-Right Hon. Mr. Doherty.
Right Hon. C. J. DOHERTY (Minister of Justice):: Mr. Speaker, the Senate having insisted upon the amendments which they made to this Bill and in which this House declined to concur, and there being reason to hope that a conference on the subject might lead to an agreement, I beg to move:
That a message be sent to the Senate respectfully requesting a free conference with Their Honours to consider certain amendments made by the Senate to Bill No. 60, intituled: "An Act to amend the Judges Act," to which amendments this House has not agreed and upon which the Senate insist, and any amendment which at such conference it may be considered desirable to make to the said Bill or amendments thereto.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

[Stage Direction]
On the Order:
Second reading of Bill No. 201, to amend the) Penitentiary Act.-The Minister of Justice.
Charles Joseph Doherty: The House will recall that
when this Bill was introduced the suggestion was made that certain of its provisions perhaps called for more mature consideration than it would be possible to give them at the present time. I have attached to that representation the weight to which it seemed to be entitled, and I have gone over the existing legislation. As it appears that the principal or more important matters covered by this Bill can be dealt with in a certain measure without legislation, and as, therefore, the plans in mind can be initiated without this legislation, in accordance with the suggestion made I beg to move that the order for this Bill be discharged.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
[Stage Direction]
The House in Committee of Supply, Mr. Boivin in the Chair.
Public Works-harbours and rivers-Ontario, $370,850.
Mr. McMASTER:: I move that the
appropriation be considered item by item.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
Collingwood'-breakwater reconstruction, $25,000.
Mr. CAHILL:: What is the explanation
of this item?


Mr. McCURDY:: This revote is required for the completion of a contract with the York Construction Company for the reconstruction of 750 feet of the superstructure at the outer end of the eastern breakwater, in reinforced concrete. The estimated cost was $50,000. Last year $25,000 was expended ; accordingly the amount required to complete is $25,000.


Mr. BUREAU:: Will that complete the
work?
Mr. McCurdy: Yes.


Jacques Bureau: In what riding is Collingwood?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: North Simcoe.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Depot Harbour-repairs and renewals tc wharves, $15,000.
Jacques Bureau: Last year the appropriation amounted to $36,000. Did that cover repairs also, and were the repairs done under contract?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The work is under contract. This amount is required to complete the construction.


Jacques Bureau: What county is that
in?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Parry Sound.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Kingston-maintenance and operation ot combined wharves and bridges, $17,900.
Frank S. Cahill: What is the explanation of this item?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This amount is for
maintenance and operation of the combined roadway, wharves and bridges over the Cataraqui river at Kingston.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Was the amount of $12,800
voted last year, spent?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Is this a continuation of
the works, or repairs? Or what is it?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The appropriation
asked for this year is for replanking and repainting the bridges. Many public works are in such condition that they call for continuous and extensive repairs, and it is sometimes difficult to tell exactly where to draw the line. Last year, as I have said, the amount of $12,800 was expended towards keeping this work in some sort of decent repair, and the amount asked for this year is absolutely necessary.


Frank S. Cahill: What proportion of this
appropriation is to be expended on the road?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Details of last year's
expenditures are as follows:
Power for this work	$1,400
Light	 700
Oils and gasoline	 350
Globes, lamps, fuses, etc	 350
Road maintenance and new roadway
surface	 1	 2,000
Replanking bridges	 4,500
Repainting bridges	 3,500


Frank S. Cahill: How is it that the Dominion Government have to maintain a roadway at Kingston?


Mr. KEEFER:: Anyone who has been there and remembers the roadway across to the Royal Military College will

understand. It is a causeway across the water; it had to be built and made permanent. It is not a road in the city or anything of that nature; it connects across to the Royal Military College.


Frank S. Cahill: Is the road on Government property?


Mr. CURRIE:: Yes.


Mr. EDWARDS:: 
[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Owen Sound-wharf reconstruction, $70,000.
Frank S. Cahill: How much was spent on that last year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The contract was let last year, but no progress was made with the work. The contractor has assembled the materials and is now ready to proceed.


Arthur Bliss Copp: What was the contract
price?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There were five tenders received, the lowest being that of E. Conroy, for $89,768.40. The others ran up to as high as $143,000.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Has anything been paid out on the contract yet?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No.


Arthur Bliss Copp: The contract is for $89,000 and you are asking for a vote of only $70,000.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The vote we are asking will pretty well cover the work that will be done this year. The contract will hardly be finished by this time next year.


Frank S. Cahill: What constituency is this in?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: North Grey.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Port Colborne - repairs to breakwaters. $55,000.
Frank S. Cahill: What is the explanation of this?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is for repairs to the west breakwaters, covering three lengths of 496, 134 and 31 feet, respectively, which were severely damaged by storms. This is a very important port, and the works cannot be allowed to go into disrepair.


Mr. ARCHAMBAULT:: I understand
that there is a vote in the Supplementary Estimates also for repairs to Port Col-borne.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: My hon. friend no
doubt refers to the vote that is being asked for by the Railway Department for repairs to the elevator at Port Colborne.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Rondeau - harbour repairs and improvements, $10,000.
Mr. PARDEE:: What is that?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This vote is required
to complete the contract let to the Border Cities Construction Company for the reconstruction of 227 feet of superstructure of the west pier; also to complete the contract for the construction of a close-faced sheet-pile wall, 320 feet long, and for general repairs to the decking on both piers.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.	.
Thessalon - tv, complete reconstruction of wharf, $12,250.
Frederick Forsyth Pardee: You are asking for more than the amount of the contract.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: In addition to the
contract price there are certain charges that have to be carried, such as inspection, advertising, and other contingencies that are always connected with a work of this character. The engineers in their estimates always include a percentage for contingencies that may develop during construction.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Is not the inspection
done by the officers of the department?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No. As a rule on works of this kind outside inspectors are engaged.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Somebody in the locality, I suppose?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes. All these works come under the direction of the district engineers, who have a general supervision over the work, but somebody has to be there all the time to check materials, and so forth.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Are these inspectors appointed by the Civil Service Commission?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


Joseph Archambault: Does my hon.
friend mean to say that the district engineer names a local inspector, who then has to be appointed by the Civil Service Commission?


Frank S. Cahill: Will the minister explain this item?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This revote is required to remove the old rotted superstructure and reconstruct with concrete the remainder of the wharf, consisting of the outer 115 feet by 20 feet, and the headblock 100 feet by 25 feet.


Mr. CHISHOLM:: What constituency is that in?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: East Algoma.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Why is that necessary
this year if it was not necessary last year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Manitoba-harbours and rivers generally_
repairs and improvements, $15,000.
Mr. MOLLOY:: What harbours and
rivers are included in this?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: A general vote is taken for each province to take care of the small emergency repairs that may be required during the year. The expenditure in the province of Manitoba under this head last year was $9,030.26.


John Patrick Molloy: Where?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It was impossible to get what was regarded as reasonable prices for doing the work the previous year, but last August tenders were called again, and one of $10,770 was received, the others running to $18,000 and even over. The chief engineer's estimate was $11,447, and as the lowest tender was well within that mark it was accepted.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is the list:

$9,030 26 COMMONS

Mr. PEDLOW:: I understand there was a sum of money spent on this general vote last year upon The Pas wharf.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, $1,294.67.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: There was also a vote in the Estimates for this particular item last year of $14,800. Has all of that amount been spent in addition to this other amount?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes. The larger sum my hon. friend mentions was spent under contract, but this smaller amount was for necessary repairs and the expenditure was carried out by the department itself.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: On the same wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The larger sum was spent in extension of the wharf at The Pas. The amount of $1,294 was spent on repairs to the inner part of the wharf.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Selkirk-repairs to wharf, $15,000.
John Patrick Molloy: This wharf is in Selkirk town?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


John Patrick Molloy: What has been the total cost up to date in connection with it?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The total expenditure for all purposes on this wharf, including dredging un to March 31, 1920, was $101,095.14.'


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
The Pas Wharf, $7,000.
William Cameron Edwards: Where is this wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: In the constituency of Nelson.


Mr. SINCLAIR (Guysborough) :: What was the amount of traffic at this wharf last year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The District Engineer, Mr. Burbridge, reporting on the commercial necessity of this wharf, states that the extension of the present wharf is required to handle increasing traffic coming to and leaving the port of The Pas. This port is the distributing point for all points on the Saskatchewan river and its tributaries. One firm handled 800 tons of freight alone, and 7,500 tons of copper ore were landed at The Pas . in 1920. The Provincial Government I am informed is building a railway to the large copper deposits of Northern Manitoba, and the material to be used will have to be handled by water.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.

Alice Arm-wharf-conditional on Provincial Government building road, $18,500.
John Howard Sinclair: According to the item, this work is conditional on the Provincial Government building a road. What does that mean?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Alice Arm is a mining town of growing importance a hundred miles north of Prince Rupert. The population at present is approximately 400. A regular boat service is maintained by the Union Steamship Company to Vancouver, and considerable quantities of supplies, mining machinery, etc., will go into the country in the next few years. A short rail line from the proposed wharf to the Dolly Varden mines will be built.


Mr. FIELDING:: Is this a new wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This vote has been
asked for and granted year by year. The construction has been delayed in view of a prospective understanding with the Provincial Government that a road would be built to connect the wharf with the district which will be served by the wharf. The road is under contract now. The Provincial Government have given a contract for its completion and it is anticipated that the construction of the wharf will be proceeded with.


John Howard Sinclair: How
much has been spent on the construction to date?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Nothing.


William Stevens Fielding: Is it a new Wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


William Stevens Fielding: Is not that a departure from the general policy laid down, that no new works will be undertaken?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It was decided some
years ago to construct this wharf and a vote has appeared in the Estimates from year to year. The Estimate this year is therefore only a revote, the policy in regard to this construction having been decided, presumably, when the vote was first granted. As I have explained, the construction was deferred because of negotiations with the Provincial Government, and it is felt that it would hardly be proper, now that they have fulfilled their part of the bargain and have agreed to build the road, that we should recede from the undertaking.


William Stevens Fielding: We are being told in
all other parts of the country that no new wharves will be undertaken, and the

non. minister is not living up to the principle he has laid down. I am afraid he will find this departure embarrassing for him elsewhere.


John Howard Sinclair: In what constituency is this work to be done?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Skeena.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Boswell-floating: wharf, $8,500.
Alexander William Chisholm: Is this a new construction?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It is a new construction but it is also a revote.


Mr. LAPOINTE:: The hon. member for
Shelburne and Queen's (Mr. Fielding) is perfectly right. The fact that these things may have been decided upon years ago is no excuse for commencing new constructions now, when we have no money. Expenditures should be curtailed, and I for one protest against any money being voted for new wharves or any other new public works.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is a float that
takes the place of a pile wharf that was destroyed by storms. In one sense it is a new work, but as it takes the place of a structure which has been serving the business of the district, my hon. friend will admit that it is hardly in the category of new undertakings.


Ernest Lapointe: There are works in
the city of Quebec which were stopped when the war broke out. They are still unfinished, and it is not fair for this House to vote money for new construction when works already begun are not being completed.


Mr. LAVIGUEUR:: I endorse the remarks of the member for Quebec East (Mr. Lapointe). In Quebec we have been asking for repairs to a wharf destroyed by the flood in 1918, but the Government has always stated that they had no money. If they have no money for Quebec, how is it that they can afford expenditures somewhere else?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: If my hon. friend will
refer to the Estimates he will find that there is provision for works in the province of Quebec. The task of keeping up structures is a difficult one; it is not easy to determine exactly when repairs should be gone on with and when works .should be allowed to stand over for another year. The officials of the department are very often put to it to correctly draw the line.
I can assure my hon. friend that every effort is being made to care for the works that are in urgent need of attention throughout the country, and if he will look at the Estimates he will find that his province has not been neglected.


Ernest Lapointe: I did not mean the province, I meant the city of Quebec.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.	\
Carroll's Landing-wharf, $11,000.
Alexander William Chisholm: That is a new wharf also.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Those members of the House who were present last year when the Public Works Estimates were under consideration will recollect that the acting minister stated that the appropriations then voted were to be expended. The item under discussion is a revote, and acting on the policy which was outlined last year tenders were asked for this work-it has been advertised and we have received very reasonable tenders to construct.


Alexander William Chisholm: I accept the minister's word, but I must call his attention to the fact that there were certain amounts voted in the Estimates last year for works in other parts of the country, and I do not find them in the Estimates this year -urgent works too. I have in my mind's eye at the present time an appropriation that was in the Estimates last year, but, so far as I can see, these Estimates do not contain that item.


Joseph Archambault: Is this a new construction also?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, but it is a revote.


John Howard Sinclair: Has
the work been commenced?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, tenders were called for and the contract has been awarded.


Alexander William Chisholm: Tenders were called
for in the case to which I have reference, but, for some reason or other, the contract was not awarded. The appropriation in question was revoted several times.


John Howard Sinclair: Will
the minister say when the tenders were called for?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Tenders for this work were called for more than once. Tenders were first invited in August, 1920, and in the opinion of the chief engineer of the department they were all too high-they were above his estimate. In January of

this year tenders were again called for, and a tender $3,000 lower than the lowest tender on the previous occasion was received.


John Howard Sinclair: How
much is it?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It is $7,800.


Andrew Ross McMaster: I hoped to have been able to discuss these questions of expenditure on wharves and harbours with some idea of the public service that these different works were given to our people, and two months ago I put a question on the Order Paper which was passed as an Order for Return. The schedule which should have been prepared, and which I should have had long ere this, would have given the expenditure for the last five years on capital and on operating account of these different wharves, the amount of upkeep which the Government was obliged to expend year Jby year, and the amount of tonnage which these wharves serve. If I could have had, and the House could have had, the advantage of this information we could have discussed these Estimates with considerably more benefit, I think, to the people, and I deeply regret that the Government was not able to give me this information. It is very hard for us, Mr- Chairman, to really criticise these works as they should be criticised, because we cannot tell just how much public benefit each wharf affords to the people of Canada.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The return which my hon. friend asked for is, as he knows, a voluminous one which necessitates going into the departmental records for the past five years of all public expenditures on harbours and rivers. I am sure he quite underrates the amount of clerical work necessary to produce the figures that he asks for. I will make inquiry of the department and expedite the compilation of the return in every possible way consistent with the carrying on of the other duties with which the officials are charged.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Fraser River ('lower)-operation of snag boat, $30,000.
Alexander William Chisholm: What is that for?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: As the name implies
it is a boat for the removal of snags. In navigation, as in other pursuits, snags should always be avoided wherever possible. Snags come down the Fraser river and are a great menace to navigation. The department some years ago went into the removal of these, and all the reports we [Mr. McCurdy. 1
have are to the effect that the expenditure is one which has been more than amply justified.


John Howard Sinclair: Who
owns this snag boat?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The Department of
Public Works.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Graham-wharf, $7,700.
Alexander William Chisholm: This also is a new
wharf.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This work is under
contract.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Harbours and rivers generally-repairs and improvements, $95,000.
Arthur Bliss Copp: This vote appears in a very general way. Has the minister any information in regard to what he proposes to do under it?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: As my hon. friend
knows, the coast line of British Columbia is very extensive, and the people are dependent altogether, in many places, on water transportation. I have a list of the expenditures made last year on these sundry works, and it occupies a page and a half in the Estimate book. I will send the information to my hon. friend if he would like to peruse it.


Ernest Lapointe: How much of the
$95,000 was spent last year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: $34,236.48.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Why is it necessary to expend any more than that amount this year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It may not be expended. The expenditure may be much smaller this year, but we want to be on the safe side.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: The minister expended only $35,000 last year. Why have such a wide margin? Would it not be better to take a smaller vote?


Mr. STEVENS:: I would like to point this out to the committee. It is largely a question of emergency in these repairs. As the minister explained, the coast line of the province is exceedingly long. You have Queen Charlotte island, Vancouver island, and all the coast line of British Columbia, with innumerable wharves at small places which are completely isolated and dependent wholly on this method of transportation. Now the vote may not be needed, but on

the other 'hand, emergencies may arise. For instance there may be violent storms, like one storm of a year ago in which a whole wharf was washed away.


Alexander William Chisholm: There may be an election, too.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The vote is the same as last year.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: The emergencies are not more likely to happen this year than last year when only $35,000 was expended. For my hon. friend to ask for almost three times the amount that he knows from experience is likely to be required is entirely too much of a margin. I therefore move that the item be reduced by the sum of $45,000.
Amendment negatived on division: Yeas, 35; nays, 44.


Jacques Bureau: I beg to call the attention of the Chairman to the fact that I counted thirteen 'members on the other side, even including my hon. and good friend the Minister of Finance, who came in after the question was put and the vote was being taken. I want to know if, when we are in committee, a member has to hear the question before he can vote on it.


The CHAIRMAN:: The point of order
raised by (the hon. mqmber for Three Rivers (Mr. Bureau) has often been decided before by the Chairman of Committee, both by the present incumbent and by his predecessors. A vote in committee is not a recorded vote. Any hon. member who is present in the chamber when the vote is being taken has the right to vote for or against the motion, and it is not necessary for him to state whether he heard the question put, or not.


Jacques Bureau: What constitutes the
taking of the vote; is it standing up and hearing the question?


Georges Henri Boivin: The taking of the
vote consists in putting the question and counting the members.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
loco-wharf, $9,200.
Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is to take the
place of a wharf that fell into utter decay and could not be repaired.


Joseph Archambault: Is it new construction?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: All construction, under
votes granted by this House is new, but in
the sense I have explained this is not new construction, it takes the place of a wharf that has fallen down.


Ernest Lapointe: We cannot hear'the
minister at all.


Joseph Archambault: The minister
states that all construction under these items is new, whether so indicated or not. Now we have an item for loco which is simply marked "wharf," and the minister states that it is a renewal. The next item, Kincolith, is marked "wharf renewal." There it is clearly indicated that it is to replace an old wharf.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I think I can explain
that to the satisfaction of my hon. friend. At loco there was an old structure that became so dilapidated that it was impossible to repair it. Similar facilities are being created at the same place.


John Howard Sinclair: Is the new wharf on the same site?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: A very short distance
away.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: In what constituency
is this loco wharf located?


Henry Herbert Stevens: I can answer that. It
is situated at a small town called loco, of about 3,000 population, twelve miles distant from Vancouver. There are huge oil tanks and refineries located there.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Is it on the seashore,
or on the river?


Henry Herbert Stevens: It is on the upper
reaches of Burrard Inlet.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Kuskanook-wharf, $5,800.
Joseph Archambault: Is that new
construction?


John Allister Currie: If the hon. gentleman
will look at the item he will see that it is a revote.


Joseph Archambault: I am asking a
question of the minister.


John Howard Sinclair: It does appear to be a revote, but as the money was not spent last year it would look as if this was proposed for new construction.


John Allister Currie: The item-


Ernest Lapointe: We do not need a
lecture from the hon. member for North



S980 COMMONS

[Stage Direction]
Simcoe (Mr. Currie). The fact that it is a revote does not indicate that it is new construction. He should learn himself, before teaching others.
Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This proposed work is
in the same class as one dr two other items which we have discussed. This is a revote, but for a new structure. After the authorization by Parliament last year, contracts were entered into and the work is now proceeding.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.	.
Ladysmith-wharf, $12,000.
Mr. ROSS:: Is that a revote of last year's general Estimates or was it in the Supplementaries ?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am informed it was
in the Supplementary Estimates of last year.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Manson's Landing-wharf, $6,500.
Joseph Archambault: Is that another new wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This item is for a new
wharf.


James Hamilton Ross: In regard to all these wharves that are new construction, and said to be revotes, which I have no doubt they are, what is the reason for the increase in the amount required if no money has been spent? Take the case of Boswell, vote increased from $6,500 to $8,500; Carroll's Landing, vote increased from $7,000 to $11,000; loco, vote increased from $3,000 to $9,200; Ladysmith, vote increased from $9,500 to $12,000. What is the necessity for these increases?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: In the case of Manson's Landing the amount asked last year was $5,500. Since that appropriation was made tenders have been called for and it has been found impossible to complete the work for that amount, the sum of $6,500 being necessary. It is not much of an advance; in some cases there are decreases.


Joseph Archambault: The vote for Manson's Landing is indicated as a revote, but I do not find it in the main Estimates of last year.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The records show that this is a revote and that the original vote was made in the Supplementary Estimates of last year.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to,

Princess Creek-floating wharf, $2,300.
John Howard Sinclair: Are
these floating wharves moved from one place to another? Do they serve more than one locality?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No. It is a less expensive method of providing facilities that the department has adopted largely in British Columbia, where the water level changes.


Frank S. Cahill: Are these pontoon
wharves or solid log floats?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Solid logs, I believe.


James Hamilton Ross: I cannot quite understand the minister's explanation with regard to these increases. He has pointed out that these items were put in the Estimates last year and that tenders were called, but on account of the tenders being too high the works, were not built. Am I right in that?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: In some cases, yes.


James Hamilton Ross: This year amounts are
asked for much in excess of last year's votes. My hon. friend either has more money or there has been a change of policy. I would like an explanation of the anomaly.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Take, for instance, the vote asked for under the head of Carroll's Landing, where $11,000 is asked for, the vote last year being $7,000. It was the intention of the department that the work should be proceeded with even if it should cost more than the $7,000 asked for last year. When the Estimates were being made up this year the construction costs were still high and lower tenders had not been received. The deputy minister advises that the present Estimate was based on tenders which had been received. It was a matter for the department to decide whether the project should be laid aside or a vote sufficiently large to complete the work asked for.


Ernest Lapointe: I think we are entitled to an explanation from the minister as to the reason for the difference between appropriations for public works in different parts of the country. I know of instances where applications which have come to the Government for public works have been met with the reply that, on account of the state of the country's finances, the policy of the department was to start no new works, and public works which have been started have been suspended for the same reason. But now we find that new works are being started in other parts of the

country. We are entitled to know the reason for this discrimination.


John Howard Sinclair: The
minister should be able to give us some explanation in regard to this matter. In Nova Scotia repairs have not been made to existing works. In my county a certain breakwater at Half Island Cove was partly broken down by storm in 1919. It was reported to the department that a very small sum would effect the necessary repairs, but no action was taken. The department was notified that if the matter was allowed to stand for another winter a large sum would be required for repairs, but it was allowed to stand and the breakwater went to pieces; now it will take $10,000 or $12,000 to make repairs that might have been made earlier for a couple of thousand dollars. That is the way repairs have been attended to in my constituency, and it is hard to understand why we should embark on a large number of new works when conditions of that kind prevail-where old works have been allowed to go into the sea because the Government would not provide a small sum to repair damages caused by storms.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I agree that the amount asked for public works is not generous, even if adequate to meet real necessities. My bon. friend, who is <an observant man, sion of alleged public facilities, the commercial necessity of which has been doubtful. Would he say that the small sums which can be spared for public works should be utilized in the keeping up of structures of value to a few people, and that the needs of much larger communities should be ignored? No matter what policy is adopted, there must be exceptions to the rule. We had a discussion this afternoon about loco, B.C., where a large community, about three thousand people, has grown up, where there are huge oil tanks and refineries, and where, if there is no new construction, the community must do without necessary facilities. It is difficult at all times for the officials to tell exactly where to draw the line, they exercise their best discretion in these oases; and the few cases where small hew structures are being undertaken are at places where the commercial necessity has been great. I think the committee will agree that where this committee in a previous year authorized the expenditure of money at certain places, the department should go ahead and provide those facilities. Otherwise, when Parliament met again and the Estimates of
the department were brought down, the department would be subject to the criticism that they had a warrant to go ahead and provide those facilities and that they had failed to do so. While it is difficult to decide where to draw the line, practically no new constructions have been authorized. I am sure I am within the mark if I say that, including the class of representation to which the hon. member for Quebec East (Mr. Lapointe) has referred, requests have come to the department this year for the expenditure of over $100,000,000, while the total amount involved in carrying to completion works at present under contract, repairs to old contracts and isolated cases of new construction, is in these Estimates something less than $5,000,000. Not a day passes but one or two or three, sometimes half a dozen, delegations come to the department, and I am sure my hon. friend from Quebec (Mr. Lapointe), if he were administering a department of Government having to do with the expenditure of money on public works, would advise them along the line that I have always advised them.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
South Gabriola island wharf, $3,500.
Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is a revote for a new wharf under contract.


John Howard Sinclair: How
mudh will it take to complete the work?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It will be completed
this season well wfithin the amount of $3,500. The lowest tender was $3,152.08.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Tofino-repairs to wharf, $4,600.
Joseph Archambault: In what constituency is Tofino?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Comox-Alberni.


Joseph Archambault: Is every constituency in British Columbia provided with a wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There are several
wharves in every constituency in British Columbia fronting on the Pacific Ocean.


James Hamilton Ross: As regards these amounts for wharves, are they the amounts required to complete the wharves, or just to begin them?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Sometimes one, sometimes the other. In the case of these small works which can be completed in one season, the amount asked for is supposed to be sufficient to complete.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.

[Stage Direction]
Harbours and rivers generally, $30,000.
John Howard Sinclair: This
seems to be another item of the same kind. We had an item for harbours and rivers generally amounting to $95,000 and if you add this on, the total is $125,000. We were told last year that $30,000 was sufficient. This is a very large increase.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I scarcely catch my hon. friend's point. This is the same amount as was asked for under this heading last year. This item is to cover travelling expenses, printing, stationery, etc., which cannot be conveniently charged to any one particular appropriation.


William Stevens Fielding: This is a general item, not for British Columbia?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


John Howard Sinclair: We
have a general item for every province. Why have another general one?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is for the Dominion. There are certain items whlich cannot be Charged to any particular locality.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Dredging-Maritime provinces, $500,000.
Mr. LEGER:: I should like to have some information as regards dredging in New Brunswick. I understand that application was made for dredging to be done at Richibucto bar, continuation of work at Ructouche bar, St. Louis river, St. Charles river and Molus river. Is there any item in this $500,000 for these works?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The dredging programme for New Brunswick for this season is as follows:	Grande Anse, Gloucester
county; Hatfield point, King's county;-


Arthur Bliss Copp: What is the amount for each place?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The amount can only be estimated. The estimated quantity to be removed at Grand Anse is 9,000 cubic yards.


Arthur Bliss Copp: What is it going to cost?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am afraid any estimate I could give would only be a rough-and-ready one.


Georges Henri Boivin: I must ask hon.
gentlemen to refrain from conversation. We have reached the point where it is practically impossible for even the Chairman to know what item hon. members are discussing.


John Allister Currie: As these are contracts to be let, I think it is not in the public interest that the minister should be asked to disclose the estimate of the department. It would simply be giving information to the contractors. It has never been done in the House before, to my knowledge.


Arthur Bliss Copp: The minister is asking for
$500,000 for certain work in the Maritime Provinces, and I think the committee is entitled to be informed as to how this amount is to be divided up between the different provinces.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: So far as the work to
be done by departmental dredges is concerned, I do not think the public interest would suffer if I gave the figures, but perhaps my hon. friend would assent to the proposal that in cases where tenders are to be called for close approximation of the cost as arrived at by our engineers should not be made public.


Arthur Bliss Copp: I quite agree.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The following proposed dredging for New Brunswick is on the programme for this year. Grand Anse, 9,000 cubic yards; Hatfield Point, 7,000 cubic yards,-for both of these we expect to ask tenders; Miramichi bay, 75,000 cubic yards, at a cost probably of $22,500; Molus river, Kent, N.B. 7,000 cubic yards; Nelson, 3,750 cubic yards; Newcastle to Bridgetown,
30,000	cubic yards, at a cost probably of $15,000; Restigouche river, 190,000 cubic yards, at a cost probably of $57,000; Bathurst, N.B., 88,000 cubic yards, at a probable cost of $26,400; Douglastown, Northumberland County, 7,500 cubic yards, at a probable cost of $4,500. Dredging will also be done at other places.


Arthur Bliss Copp: In regard to Hatfield Point, is the work to be done on the St. John river or on the main shore?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It is on the river, I understand.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Has any dredging been done there recently?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No.


Arthur Bliss Copp: What shipping does my
hon. friend expect there?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I shall get the information and forward it to my hon. friend.


Auguste Théophile Léger: A year or two ago there was an appropriation of $1,200 for work on the St. Charles river, which was not expended. Both the St. Charles and the St. Louis rivers should be dredged, for

the convenience of farmers who have their fertilizer brought up the river in scows: 1 do hope that an amount for this purpose will be included. I think the farmers in that part of the country have cause for complaint, and I therefore feel it is my duty to bring the need for this work before the minister.


John Howard Sinclair: I would like some information in regard to the proposed dredging in the province of Nova Scotia. There are two urgent cases in my own constituency. One is at Port Hilford. For the last ten years this Government has been asked to expend a small amount in dredging the harbour at Port Hilford so as to enable the coasting steamer to reach the wharf in stormy weather. Repeated requests have been made for this work, and we have been informed on several occasions that something would be done, but so far as I know, nothing has been done up to the present time. The sand has filled in around the wharf so much that on a stormy day the coasting steamer is unable to get to the place where the shelter is. The harbour is an exposed one and the steamer is not able to call at all when the weather is rough, owing to the fact that the dredging has not been done. The other case is the harbour of Canso, where some dredging has been done in the last few years to remove the boulders. This is a very important port, the headquarters of the fishing industry in eastern Nova Scotia, and it is urgent that the dredging work there should be completed. I should like to know from the minister whether provision has been made for dredging at these two places out of this vote for $500,000.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have no recollection of having had the necessity for dredging at Port Hilford drawn to my attention since I assumed charge of the department. There is no amount included in this vote for dredging at Port Hilford, and the same applies to the harbour of Canso. There was a request received from Canso some two months ago for the construction of a new wharf at that place, but no representations! have been made to me with regard to dredging at that port.


John Howard Sinclair: What was the reason that my hon. friend did not make any provision for the construction of that wharf? Its construction is of very special importance to the fishermen of the locality. It serves not only as a wharf,
but also as a shelter to a part of the harbour. The request the minister speaks of was made by the Fishermen's Union of Canso, which is a very strong and influential body, and very important from a commercial standpoint. The expenditure would not be very large, and it certainly would be a justifiable expenditure if any exception is to be made to the rule* The minister has already made half a dozen exceptions to the rule in British Columbia, and I therefore shall find it difficult to explain to my constituents why something was not done in connection with the wharf at Canso. What is the reason?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Different representations have been received from Canso with respect to the necessity for this work. I have not had the same opportunity of personally acquainting myself with the conditions there, as my hon. friend has. He says that the wharf is very much needed, but I am informed that in the meantime there are other means of loading and unloading fishing cargoes that come into that port. I have no personal knowledge of that, of course, but the representations are that this work is not of such extreme urgency as if no other wharf existed at the port. There are privately-owned wharves at Canso which for years have been used by the fishermen. The fishermen say that this is not satisfactory, but the fact is that they have been using these wharves for years.


John Howard Sinclair: They
are private wharves not generally available to the public.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have no doubt that if either the hon. member or I wanted to land a cargo there we could. I understand that no charge is made for the use of these wharves. It is true they are privately owned, but they are used by the public. So that while it would be desirable to have a fishermen's wharf there when conditions permit, it was decided that it was not in the class of urgency that it could not stand over for another year.


John Howard Sinclair: Will
you build it next year?


Mr. SINCLAIR (Queen's) :: Will the
minister give the amount of this vote that will be spent in Prince Edward Island, and also outline the programme for this season, informing us just where the money will be spent?


Alexander William Chisholm: If it would make no difference. I think the minister might fin-

ish the outline of his programme with regard to Nova Scotia.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: My heart is there.


Alexander William Chisholm: Certainly, and if my hon. friend has no objection the minister might finish Nova Scotia first.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Dredge No. 1, the
" Fielding," is to operate this year at Liverpool and remove 50,000 cubic yards, at an estimated cost of $20,000. She will then proceed to Restigouche river to remove 190,000 cubic yards at a cost of $57,000.


Alexander William Chisholm: Restigouche is not in Nova Scotia.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Well, she gets a good start in Nova Scotia. My hon. friend from Queen's (Mr. Sinclair) has asked a question in regard to Prince Edward Island. Perhaps I had better take the programme province by province. I will answer the hon. member for Queen's first. The programme for dredging operations in Prince Edward Island is not definitely concluded yet, but work is to be begun by the dredge at the marine wharf at Charlottetown, to remove 18,000 odd cubic yards of material. After that it will proceed to Pownal wharf and then probably to Murray River.	,


John Ewen Sinclair: What portion of this $500,000 is to be spent in Prince Edward Island?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: About $30,000.


John Ewen Sinclair: The minister says that the programme for the season is not yet fully made up. How long is it estimated that the dredge will be required to carry out the work he has outlined?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Pretty nearly the whole season.


John Ewen Sinclair: In 1914, or perhaps somewhat earlier-I am not sure of the exact date but it was before the war, at any rate-the Department of Public Works began the work of straightening and making a proper channel in the Hillsborough river from Charlottetown to Mount Stewart. The work was only partially completed when the war broke out, when it was thought wise to defer it owing to other heavy expenditures. If the work that is contemplated during the coming summer is completed before the close of the season, and the dredge is likely to be idle, I would suggest that the minister consider continuing the work of improving the

channel in the Hillsborough river.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am sure the dredge mentioned will not be idle, however, I will make a memorandum of what my hon. friend says and see whether the dredge can be placed on the work he has mentioned.


Mr. MICHAUD:: I think the minister says that there is something like $45,000 to be spent on the Restigouche river. Is that right?


William Stevens Fielding: Is the bulk of this work being done by Government dredges?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, almost entirely.


William Stevens Fielding: Well, I can appreciate the difficulty of specifying definite sums at particular points, because the dredges have to be maintained anyhow, and they start at one point and go to another. In that way several provinces become mixed up. I fancy that these estimates which the minister gives are made up in this way: From the general work of the department they know what it will cost to remove certain classes of material, and applying that rough estimate to the quantity they have to remove they are able to give an approximate idea of what it will cost. But it is difficult to give an appropriation of a particular sum to a particular place. Am I right in assuming that the bulk of the work is to be done by Government dredges?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, that is perfectly so, and the method by which I have arrived at the estimated expenditure is exactly as my hon. friend has indicated. That is why I think it would be just as useful if I were to indicate the cubic yards which the department hopes to remove.


John Howard Sinclair: If the minister has an estimate of the amounts he will spend in various harbours, that is all we ask for. I presume he will not go at the work in a haphazard manner, commencing at one end of a province without knowing where he will go next. The order in which the work is to be done is not a matter of interest to the committee at present; all we ask for is information as to where the various sums will be spent. My hon. friend has not yet told us very much about Nova Scotia.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No, for the very good reason that I have been interrupted several times when trying to do so. If I am allowed to proceed I will give the information. First, at Glace bay, 22,000 yards; at Liverpool, 50,000 yards; at Port Hood,

3,750 yards; at Shenacadie, 27,600 yards; at St. Peter's Narrows, 17,000 yards; at Sydney, 36,000 yards; at Windsor, 2,000 yards; at Yarmouth, 110,000 yards.


Pius Michaud: Am I right in supposing that Restigouche river was one of the places mentioned by the minister where dredging operations will take place?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: We expect to dredge
190,000	cubic yards in the Restigouche river this year.


Pius Michaud: What will be the approximate cost?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Probably $60,000.


Mr. MARCIL (Bonaventure) :: At what point will this work be done?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: At the Grandoon flats.


Charles Marcil: Is there
anything for Cross Point?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There is a small amount under another heading that is going to be spent at Cross Point. I might also say that one of the dredges is now on her way to New Carlisle where 12,000 cubic yards are to be excavated.


Alexander William Chisholm: As a matter of fact are all the Government dredges employed all the time?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Oh, no. Several Government dredges are laid up; they have not been in operation and will not be in operation this year.


Alexander William Chisholm: 
Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I will bear what my hon. friend has said in mind.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Dredging-Ontario and Quebec, $450,000.
Ernest Lapointe: May I ask the minister if this vote includes any expenditure for dredging in Yamaska county?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There are no Public Works dredges operating in Yamaska at the present time.


Ernest Lapointe: I have seen some of them at work.


Charles Marcil: Would
the minister be kind enough to mention the places where dredging is being done in the province of Quebec?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: At Batiscan, 32,500
cubic yards; Doucet's Landing, 22,000 cubic yards; at Harricanaw, in the county of Pontiac, 24,000 cubic yards; Rimouski,
80,000	cubic yards; River du Loup, 80,500 cubic yards; and Verdun and Laprairie, removal of boulders necessitating the expenditure probably of $1,000. This is in addition to the dredging at New Carlisle, of which I have already spoken.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
[Stage Direction]
Roads and Bridges-Banff-bridges, $168,000.
Frank S. Cahill: Under the general vote for roads and bridges I wish to bring to the attention of the minister the condition of a bridge in the county of Pontiac, crossing the Ottawa river, which has been in charge of the Department of Public Works for some years. A few years ago they replaced two of the piers, but the centre pier is now in need of repair. I understand that the minister had a deputation wait upon him from the village of Bryson to ask that the work be gone on with as the bridge had been condemned by the minister's own department. It is the only means of communication between the village of Bryson, on the mainland, and Calumet island, which is an important farming district. Because the deputation did not ask my hon. friend to construct a bridge on the other side of the island to connect with the province of Ontario, he saw fit to refuse to maintain his bridge at that point. He was quick enough, however, when he found an item for dredging in the county of Pontiac to say that it was for work in my constituency. Perhaps the fact that this bridge is in the constituency of Pontiac was his reason for refusing to maintain the structure in a condition in which it can be used. The bridge cost a great deal of money and is liable, I understand, to collapse at any time-it is not safe for traffic. Although there is a steel superstructure the Government apparently are not maintaining this bridge in good repair. I think the minister should bring in an item in the Supplementary Estimates to take care of the repairs to this bridge. It is not fair to say to the township in which the bridge is located that they should have to look after it; the minister should provide, in the Supplementary Estimates, for doing this necessary work.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It is not intended, Mr. Chairman, to provide any sum for the repairs of this bridge. I recall quite distinctly the conversation that took place when the delegation came to see me some months ago in connection with this matter The delegation was headed by Mr. Rimer, mayor of Bryson, and two other gentlemen, who asked that the department continue to repair a bridge of a local character connecting an island with another place on the mainland in the county of Pontiac. If, as my hon. friend has suggested, the bridge went from the island across the Ottawa river it would be interprovincial in its character, and under the British

North America Act probably a case could be made out for the department contributing to its maintenance. I referred the matter to the Department of Justice. The answer being that it was not a work which the Dominion Government could be called on to maintain, I think I would be less than frank if I allowed my hon. friend to believe that any sum will be forthcoming towards its upkeep. The delegation which visited Ottawa have been advised of the decision of the department, which, so far as I know, can be looked upon as final.


Frank S. Cahill: As my hon. friend knows, the Ottawa river is the boundary line between the provinces of Quebec and Ontario clear to the north end of Lake Timiskam-ing, and the only bridges that cross the river between the St. Lawrence and that point are built from the Quebec side to the Ontario side and land on an island in every case. The bridge at Ottawa here was built and is maintained by the Government. The same remark applies to the bridge at Portage du Fort. The municipality and the province built this originally, and the Dominion Government recognized the injustice of asking them to maintain it, as it was on interprovincial waters. But now that the minister finds a loop-hole to escape this liabality he avails himself of it. I think the course taken is entirely unfair, especially when we have items here of hundreds of thousands of dollars for bridges in other parts of the country, some of them new structures. If the Government are maintaining bridges across interprovincial waters, there is absolutely no excuse why they should not maintain this bridge. The only difference in this case is that my hon. friend has got a bridge only half way across the river, and because he has not built the other half he refuses to maintain the part that is built.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: If the districts affected will bring forward a proposal to make this an interprovincial bridge by extending it across the Ottawa river, I shall be very glad to have the matter taken into consideration; but at present it is simply a local bridge built by the local authorities.


Frank S. Cahill: How often has the minister consulted the Department of Justice in relation to public works in constituencies represented by his friends on the other side of the House?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Whenever there is any necessity.


Charles Marcil: The minister has had several deputations from

Campbellton asking for an interprovincial bridge between Crosspoint and Campbellton. How does that matter stand?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It stands, Mr. Chairman.


Charles Marcil: An interprovincial bridge was built some years ago at Matapedia by this Government in conjunction with the Governments of Quebec and New Brunswick. I have called attention to the approaches of this bridge, as the road running through unorganized territory is almost impassable, and it is the only leading thoroughfare between Quebec and New Brunswick. The former member for Rimouski had some $10,000 expended on the road, but for some years no further work has been done. I wish the minister would give the matter attention and see if something cannot be done.


Pius Michaud: I have received similar requests from the people of Campbellton and vicinity. I called upon the minister at the beginning of the session, but he told me the treasury was rather short of money, and that the structure being purely an interprovincial bridge, no federal assistance could be given. But interprovincial bridges have been built by the Dominion Government, and I can cite a case in point 

the bridge between Ottawa and Hull. The necessity of a bridge between Campbellton and Crosspoint is just as great, and the bridge between here and Hull is certainly a precedent in favour of federal assistance in this instance.


Alexander William Chisholm: I want to make a suggestion to the minister in regard to the Grand Etang bridge in Inverness county. The Government is spending considerable money on repairs to this bridge every second or third year, and when any further repairs are contemplated I would ask the minister to take into consideration its removal up to the Narrows. This would accomplish two purposes: it would give a shorter and less expensive bridge, and would also furnish the fishermen with urgently needed accommodation for the protection of their boats, as at present the harbour is entirely too small. This is an urgent matter and I would respectfully suggest that the minister take it into consideration when any further expenditure is needed for repairs to the existing bridge.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I shall see that the hon. member's suggestion is borne in mind.
' Item agreed to.
Nova Scotia-Cape Breton Telegraph system-reconstruction of telephone line between Harvard lake and N.E. Margaree, $1,000 ; Pictou Island-telephone cable, $14,300.


Alexander William Chisholm: Is it the intention of the minister to undertake this expenditure this year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes. It is partly for
diversion, in order to get a more direct line.
Graving docks, locks and dams, etc., $150,200.


John Howard Sinclair: How
many graving docks does the Government own?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The three mentioned
in this vote and one at Kingston.


John Howard Sinclair: Is the new graving dock that is being built at Esquimalt the property of the Government?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


John Howard Sinclair: I understood that the Government paid subsidies to private companies to build these docks. If I remember rightly, my hon. friend's predecessor told us that a move was on foot for the construction of a graving dock at Vancouver by a company, subsidized by the Government. How is it that the graving dock at Esquimalt is on a different basis from the docks at Colling-wood, Vancouver and other points?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There are two systems under which docks have been built in Canada. There is the Dry Dock Subsidies Act, the provisions of which are availed of by people who wish to build docks, the locations, of course, to be approved by the Government. Under that Act docks have been built at Collingwood, Port Arthur, Montreal and Prince Rupert and subsidy agreements are outstanding for the construction of dry docks at Vancouver and St. John. In addition, the Government have constructed the three which I have mentioned and are constructing the dry dock at Esquimalt, which will serve also the purposes of a naval dock.


John Howard Sinclair: Has
the policy of the Government changed in this matter? Is it now to be the policy of the Government to 'build and maintain graving docks and to abandon the old system of insisting that a company manage them and pay the interest on their loans? May other parts of Canada apply to the minister to obtain graving docks similar to the dock now being built at Esquimalt and on the same terms?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: As for requests that may come from other parts of the country for additonal dry docks, I would prefer to decide the matter when the applications arrive. I must confess that I am not thoroughly familiar with every detail of what has transpired regarding dry docks that have been under construction except so far as the records go, but in general I would say that there has been no change in policy.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Telegraph and telephone lines, $930,400.
Auguste Théophile Léger: I wish to ask the minister for some information in reference to the extension of the line from Point Sapin to Kouchibouguac in the county of Kent.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I see no vote for that purpose.


Auguste Théophile Léger: Will there be a vote for it in the Supplementary Estimates?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Quite probably so.


Andrew Ross McMaster: What has been the revenue from these different telegraph and telephone lines for the past year?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have not that information under my hand, but it was given in the annual report of the Department of Public Works which was tabled at the beginning of the session; I will secure a copy and forward it to my hon. friend. But the operation of the Government telegraph and telephone lines covered by this vote is not a commercial undertaking. It is a large annual expense to operate these lines; I suppose the deficit would rujn frotm $600,000 to $700,000 per annum. As a rule these lines serve districts where commercial companies could not profitably operate. For instance, there are lines in certain parts of northern British Columbia and extending to the Yukon, where service is maintained at & heavy annual loss. It is, however, a service which cannot very well be abandoned; I am sure that hon. members would not like to see the Yukon deprived of telegraphic communication. In Eastern Canada these lines are for the most part in sparsely settled districts where there would be no service if it was not provided by the Government.


Mr. REID (Mackenzie):: In connection with the Yukon system, there is considerable duplication; for some distance you will find in little towns along the Grand Trunk Pacific two telegraph offices, those of the Grand Trunk Pacific and those of the Yukon telegraph system. It is some

distance east of Hazelton where the Yukon telegraph line strikes off from the Grand Trunk Pacific and crosses over! to the Canadian Pacific at Ashcroft. I fail to see why it is necessary to maintain two telegraph and telephone offices in each of these towns along that part of the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific which is paralleled by the Yukon system. It seems to me that a saving could be effected in that regard; where the Yukon system strikes the Grand Trunk Pacific telegraphic line you could cut the system and not duplicate from there on to the point where it leaves the Grand Trunk Pacific and goes across to Ashcroft on the Canadian Pacific line.


John Allister Currie: The line serves a number of places between Hazelton and Ashcroft.


John Flaws Reid: I am asking
the minister, not the hon. member.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have been giving some attention to this matter, and I quite agree with what my hon. friend states, namely, that there is ground for making improvements by which the services necessary may retained and a considerable saving effected. That is a matter which will receive attention at an early date.


Pius Michaud: How many miles of telegraph lines are there in New Brunswick?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have not the information for the province of New Brunswick. It is contained in the annual report which was tabled at the beginning of the session. Altogether the department operates 11,821 miles of land lines, 336 miles of submarine cables, and it has 1,179 offices.


John Flaws Reid: What lines
do the Government operate in Saskatchewan?-because in that province we are very well served. We have a government long-distance system, and the rural systems belong to the farmers, private companies.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I assumed that, this matter being all outlined in the report, hon. members would have it. I regret that at the moment I have not the exact information under my hand.


John Flaws Reid: Is the information in the annual report?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


John Flaws Reid: Then I will look it up.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.

Demobilization-Public Works, $750,000.
Andrew Ross McMaster: How does this vote come under demobilization?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is another case where the Department of Public Works is bearing the burdens of other departments. My hon. friend, in perusing the Estimates, will have noticed that public works, so-called, public improvements, engross only a small part of the expenditure of the department. The Department of Public Works is the renting agent for public buildings. In connection with demobilization we found ourselves in possession of a number of hospitals, convalescent homes and other buildings which had been used for war purposes, and under contract to return these properties to the owners at the end of the Militia Department's term of occupancy. It is largely in connection with the replacement and refurnishing of buildings of that character that this vote is asked for.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Could the minister give the main items that make up this very considerable sum?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There is also the question of rentals of properties which have been used for war purposes, the appropriation for which is secured through the Department of Public Works. This amount of $750,000 is to complete the construction of works in connection with military hospitals, for the maintenance of existing works, to pay the salaries of staffs and to pay for buildings rented for the Militia Department, which item was formerly charged to war appropriation. This is a summary of the items:
For completion of works	$ 77,315
Rentals	 469,776
Maintenance of existing buildings.. ..	173,965


John Flaws Reid: What is the policy of the Government as regards convalescent homes in Winnipeg? A number of those buildings are standing vacant. What is to be done with them?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: When the Minister of Militia and Defence is in the chamber, I shall ask him to supply the information to my hon. friend.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Public Works-chargeable to income,-rents, repairs, furniture, heating, etc., $4,935,500.
Arthur Bliss Copp: As regards the item of $1,-
130,000	for rents, what buildings are rented in Ottawa and what is the policy of the Government in regard to this matter? Does the Government intend to continue renting these buildings, or to erect buildings of its own? The time has arrived when we should have some general policy in regard to the matter.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I move that further consideration of this item be postponed. I shall have the information in a few minutes.
Item stands.
Harbours and rivers-Nova Scotia, $274,050. Mr. SINCLAIR (Guysborough) : Will the minister explain the second item, Bass river wharf? Is that a new wharf?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It is for replacement of a wharf that has gone down.


John Howard Sinclair: What
is the business at that point?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is a revote. The principal industries are lumbering and the manufacture of furniture. Located at Bass river is the Dominion Chair Company whose imports of general merchandise approximate $75,000 to $80,000 annually, and whose exports of chairs ordinarily amount to $20,000 annually, making a total of $100,000. Other local merchants who receive at this port will add $20,000 to $25,000. Shipments of lumber average around 4,000,000 feet annually. The old wharf was built in 1894-95. It was extended in 1901-02 and in 1911-12. The work is under contract. Tenders were called for and the work is under way.


John Howard Sinclair: Has the work been commenced?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes.


John Howard Sinclair: The
output of the fishing industry at Canso is at least ten times the figure that the minister gave.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: A million dollars a year?


John Howard Sinclair: More than that.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am glad to hear it.


John Howard Sinclair: There is a large population depending upon the wharf that was supposed to be built at Canso and that could be built for a much less sum than the wharf at Bass river.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: There is no other wharf at Bass river.


William Stevens Fielding: There are a few names in this item which occur in different coun-

ties. Maitland, I presume, is in Hants county. Summerville is to be found at several places.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: It is in Hants county.


William Stevens Fielding: I am sorry; I thought it was in Queen's.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Blanche is in Shelburne county. We shall provide for Blanche in the Supplementary Estimates.


William Stevens Fielding: I quite understand
the difficulty my hon. friend has in making new appropriations, but I hope the Government will be able to make a strenuous effort to provide for necessary repairs. There are throughout the country many works of a useful character which are falling rapidly into decay. I know of several in my constituency. This is a matter in which the Government would have to be advised by the engineers of course; but where they have information from their engineers as to the condition of the works, I hope a strenuous effort will be made to provide the necessary repairs, for two purposes; first in order to accommodate the public, and secondly, to prevent works going into decay. After a few years on our Atlantic coast a work that is neglected goes to pieces very rapidly. All I desire to say further is that I hope in the Supplementary Estimates the minister will be able to make provision for works which his engineers report as useful and urgent.


John Howard Sinclair: I regret to find that there is nothing in these Estimates for a breakwater at St. Francis harbour. An application, I understand, has been made for this work, which is required to accommodate the fishing industry in that locality. My hon. friend will find on file in his office a petition from the fishermen of St. Francis harbour, pointing out that they are unable successfully to carry on their business owing to the want of shelter from the storms, and they ask for the expenditure of a small sum of money for the building of a breakwater. This matter has been before the department for some time. I took occasion to look at the petition myself and at the explanation that has been given by my hon. friend's engineer, and I regret to find that nothing has been done in this matter. In addition to the fishing industry, there is also developing at that point a lumbering industry, but as the place is far removed from railway communication, the whole business has to be done by water, and as there is no wharf in that locality where a scow or steamer can receive goods, the necessity for the

construction of a work of that kind is very great and obvious. The construction of a wharf there would mean the development of the fishing and lumbering industries in that locality. I want to tell my hon. friend that not a single one of the wharves that have been built on the Atlantic coast in my constituency has not proved very useful. If he would visit that part of the country he would find that flourishing villages have grown up at the places where these breakwaters havte 4>een built, villages which formerly did not exist. The young men ir. the places where these works are provided instead of going to the United States, stay at home and purchase boats and become successful fishermen. That is one direction in which the expenditure of public money can very well be justified. I know there has been criticism with regard to the expenditure of public money on the coast of Nova Scotia, but I represent a county with a coast line of 150 miles, and I do not think my hon. friend will find any work along that coast the construction of which has not been justified. There has been nothing built by the Government in my constituency for the last ten years, since the change of Government, and I hope my hon. friend will make an exception in these one or two urgent cases, notwithstanding the fact that the county happens to be represented by an opponent of the Government.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Harbours and rivers-Prince Edward Island, $43,400.	[DOT]
Mr. McLSAA'C:	There are four small
items not here mentioned to which I wish to direct the attention of the minister, and for which I hope he will make provision in the Supplementary Estimates. These works are important locally, although the expenditure involved would not be large. First of all, repairs are needed to the wharf at Georgetown. The wharf at Greek river also requires some repairs and a short extension. Some repairs are also required to Chapel Point wharf at St. George, and to the pier at Bay Fortune; an extension is also required to that pier in order to enable vessels to load and discharge their cargoes. The total amount required for these works would be comparatively small, and I trust that the minister will be able to make provision for their construction.
Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: We shall overtake such as we can.


Auguste Théophile Léger: Is the completion of the
pier and breakwater at Richibucto cape to


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The present intention
is to have the ,work done by day labour.


Auguste Théophile Léger: There was a vote in 1920
for repairs to what is known as Church wharf. The amount was $1,700. I understand that this has not been expended. I quote from Hansard of June 4, 1920:
Coeagne (N.B.)-repairs to wharf, $1,700.
Mr. L,eger: On what wharf is this money to be expended ?
Mr. J. D. Reid: There is a wharf one mile to the north called "Coeagne Church Wharf." This is work that the hon. gentleman wished should be done.
From a communication I have received from the county of Kent, which I have the honour to represent, I understand that this work has not been done. About 70 feet of. this wharf was damaged by running ice, which moved the wharf in one part about 4 feet. That was the year before last. No repairs have been made, and the wharf still stands that way, with a great risk of being washed away entirely next spring, if that has not already happened. I should like to know why the money that was voted last year has not been expended?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: If my hon. friend refers to Coeagne Church wharf, I find there was an expenditure last year at Coeagne, repairs to wharf, of $1,700.


Auguste Théophile Léger: The vote was for what is
called Church wharf. If any expenditure has been made, it has not been made on the Coeagne Church wharf. I want an explanation of just how this mistake has been made, because the parties have written me in reference to the matter.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The information furnished me is that there was expended last year at Coeagne, on repairs to the wharf, $1,700. That is the only information I have, but I shall be pleased to get the information my hon. friend requires and forward it to him on Monday, and if he has anything further to say with regard to these expenditures perhaps he will take the matter up the next day we are in Supply or if we finish the Main Estimates to-day, for sanction.


Auguste Théophile Léger: Is there any appropriation in the Supplementary Estimates for repairs to the Molus wharf? This is a small wharf and application was made last fall to have it raised a couple of feet. The wharf is used by farmers who get shell fertilizer from the neighbourhood, and at high tide it is covered and the loaded scows
have to wait a considerable time before they can land their cargoes. It will not cost very many hundred dollars to raise this wharf a couple of feet, but I do not see anything in the Estimates to have this done.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: We are planning to do some dredging at Molus river this year, and at the same time investigations will be made in regard to the desirability of the work my hon. friend proposes. No provision has yett been made in the Estimates for repairing the wharf he speaks of, and it will be necessary for us to send our engineers and have an official report before we can bring the matter to a finality. I assure my hon. friend that his representations will be given consideration.


Auguste Théophile Léger: Have the engineering staff at Chatham been removed to St. John?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Another vote is being asked for under which I shall make a statement regarding engineering services. If my hon. friend is agreeable I would suggest that this question stand until I make that statement.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Harbours and rivers-Quebec, $303,820.
Charles Marcil: This
first item for the Anse aux Gascons wharf is a long standing vote. Will the minister make a statement in regard to it?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This amount of $49,000 is required for the construction of a new crib work wharf 400 feet long by a width of 20 feet upon the first 300 feet and a width of 30 feet on the outer 100 feet. The road to the wharf is to be levelled, and the shore space between the old and the new construction is to be filled to the level of the flooring of the wharf. The structure is to take the place of the old wharf which was destroyed by storms occurring in 1916, 1917 and 1918.


Charles Marcil: Is the work under contract?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: In answer to public
advertisements tenders were received inAugust, 1920, from T. P. Charleston, $44,580, and J. T. Collins, $57,940. The lowest tender was accepted and an Order in Council was passed on September 30, last year, authorizing a contract with Mr. Charleston which was duly made.


Mr. FOURNIER:: In looking over the
Estimates I do not see anything for the St. Michel wharf in the county of Belle-

chasse. Has the minister provided for that wharf in the Supplementary Estimates?
Mr. MeCURDY:	The matter is under
consideration in connection with the Supplementary Estimates, buit whether or not a vote will be provided I am not at liberty to state at present.


Charles Alphonse Fournier: Last year there was
a revote of $36,000 to complete the repairs to this wharf, but this year there is nothing. The wharf was destroyed in the storm of 1918. In 1919 plans and specifications were prepared and tenders called for, and the contract was awarded to the lowest tenderer. Unfortunately, the bid of Mr. Galibois was so low that he could not keep up with the work 'and had to abandon it. He worked only two months and repaired 400 feet, leaving 400 feet more to be done. By winter additional damage was incurred and last year there was a revote of $36,000 in the Main Estimates, but no work was done. The consequence is that it will cost a little bit more to finish the repairs to the wharf. I must remind the minister that this is a county wharf which serves five parishes. A boat has been calling at the wharf twice a day for the last thirty-eight years and I would impress upon the minister the urgency of completing this work.
Mr. MeCURDY: The department is fully seized of the importance of the work in question, but as my hon. friend knows, the provision of money is a difficult matter.
I would advise him to keep up his courage and reserve further remarks until the Supplementary Estimates are down.


Mr. PELLETIER:: There is nothing
in the Estimates in connection with different harbours, namely, Matane, St. Felicite, Mechins and Ruisseau a Loutre. There is only $1,350 for repairs to the Mechins wharf, and for the past four years I have asked for an extension of the wharf at this harbour. The engineers have reported favourably on it, and I fail to see why this work should not be done. The department knows perfectly well that vessels between Rimouski and Gaspe have absolutely no shelter, and if this work were done it would afford protection for vessels in times of storm and stress. May I ask my hon. friend if he intends to do anything on this wharf at Matane, besides carrying out the repairs that are to be made?
Mr. MeCURDY: If I have conveyed the impression to my hon. friend, or if "he has interpreted my words to mean, that there

is going to be provision for the wharf 'he has gathered an incorrect ope. I advised my hon. friend from Bellechasse (Mr. Fournier) to be hopeful. I will, between now and the time the Supplementary Estimates are tabled, look carefully into the facts regarding the works my hon. friend has mentioned, and see whether or not something can be done.


François Jean Pelletier: The minister advises the member for Bellechasse to be hopeful. I have been hopeful for quite a number of years, and have got nothing. I feel that it is about time a little work was done in my riding. Forty-five vessels enter the port of Matane, and the tonnage amounts to something like 30,000 tons, but the place is absolutely lacking in proper facilities. I think we ought to have a share of public expenditures. The provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba are getting all the works they want, why should we not get ours? What is the reason for the discrimination? I hope the minister will take this matter up seriously and see that something is done.


Charles Marcil: I want to concur in the statements of the hon. member for Shelburne and Queen's (Mr. Fielding) regarding works already completed and in existence-they should not be entirely neglected. In my constituency, which has a coast line of over 100 miles, there are a number of wharves badly in need of repair. I see that two of them are being provided for, but there are others round that coast that are necessary to the fishing community and which need repairs badly. I hope that when the minister receives the report of his engineers on these matters he will give them favourable consideration because the works in question are all of a useful nature and should not be allowed to disappear completely. At the present time some of them are in a very bad state of repair. _


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Ottawa Parliament Buildings:	restoration,
William Stevens Fielding: When may we expect
the completion of the work? Has the hon. gentleman formed a date in his mind?
Mr. MeCURDY:	I think it can be said
that so far as the construction of the lower part of the building is concerned-that is, this floor-it will be absolutely completed this year. I am not referring now to the decorations and some fixings of that kind, but to the main construction work; the

construction in the main hall, and the balance of the work on this floor should be finished this summer. The construction of the tower will probably go on for at least another year after the present year. There is some slight difference of opinion as between the architect and the builders as to the carrying capacity of the tower. That is, the architect thinks it is better to build more slowly and take at least another year, after this year, in constructing the main tower, whereas the contractors would willingly go ahead and finish the work this year as that is (physically possible. In order to be safe, the Parliament Buildings Committee is authorizing the taking of two years at least to construct the tower instead of finishing this summer, as they regard that as the safest plan to follow. Apart from these two things to which I have alluded-the main entrance and the tower -I think the construction work on the buildings is practically complete.


Charles Marcil: Is the
design of the tower finally settled?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Not finally settled. It
is settled a little bit beyond the stage where construction has gone, but a final decision as to the upper part has not yet been reached. It is under consideration, however, and will be decided very soon. Working models are in the office of the Chief Architect just across from the entrance to this building, and I am sure it will interest members of Parliament if they would go to Mr. Pearson's office and view the models which he has there, and at the same time give him the benefit of their advice. The views or suggestions which members of Parliament have, might be of assistance to him in finally evolving the most fitting plans for the upper part of the tower.


William Stevens Fielding: I have noticed men
working at night on the tower several times this year which would indicate that there was a desire to rush the work. I am not complaining of the fact, but what is the explanation for taking that course? It must involve extra cost.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The very thing the hon. gentleman speaks of occurred to me and I made inquiries with regard to the work that is going on. I find that the men are required to work in alternate Shifts. They first put up a course of stone and that has to be backed up by a course of concrete. It is impossible to have both gangs working at the same time, so by arrangement one works in the day time and the other follows on and works after
ordinary day hours. There is no overtime being paid in connection with the work.


William Stevens Fielding: That would be ai
right if you wished to rush the work, but the hon. gentleman has stated it is not intended to rush it. Will he tell us what amount has been expended up to the present time?


Mr. MARTIN:: Under what system is this work being done, on a percentage basis or by contract?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: By double shifts.


Peter Francis Martin: I know, but on what basis is it being done?


William Stevens Fielding: Of itself it must make an increase in the cost.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I understood my hon. friend to say that because the work was going on in the evening it was therefore costing more?


William Stevens Fielding: Surely.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The arrangement by
which the men are working in double shifts is not costing any more than if these men worked on alternate days.


William Stevens Fielding: Then the night work is not costing any more than the day work?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No.


William Stevens Fielding: What has been the total cost up to the present time of the whole thing-building, furniture and everything?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: In round numbers the expenditure up to the present time has been $9,000,000.


William Stevens Fielding: Does the hon. gentleman remember what the original Estimate was? Of course I know it was much below that.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The original estimate was not for the building we have now. The estimate was based upon a much smaller structure, one story less, and there have been a very large number of changes, including the provision of a central heating plant, all of which have added very much to the cost. I think that if the building had been completed according to the original plans it probably would have cost about $7,000,000, instead of $5,100,000 as estimated. There would have been an overrun of expenditure of probably $1,900,000. As every one knows, the cost of labour and material has advanced from 100 to 140 per cent over the figures that

were current when the contract was made, and necessarily that advance has carried with it an increase in the total cost of the building. But it should always be remembered that we are now having a different structure entirely from what we started out to build, and the extra storey and other additions will cost probably from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000.


John Howard Sinclair: What does my hon. friend estimate will be required to complete the work?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The total ultimate
cost is expected to be something over


Pius Michaud: Will that include furniture?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Including furniture and fittings.


William Stevens Fielding: And the tower?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The tower and everything else.


John Howard Sinclair: What are the names of the committee now in charge?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The Minister of Public Works, the President of the Privy Council, the Minister of Railways, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and Senators Robertson and Watson.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Did I understand the
minister to say that when the building is completed the total cost will not exceed $10,000,000 including furnishings and fittings?	,


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I said the cost would probably be somewhat in excess of $10,000,000. '


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: And we have spent
already over $9,000,000?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No, not quite $9,000,000.


Ernest Lapointe: What will be the
height of the tower?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The exact height has not yet been determined, but it is expected to be from 250 to 280 feet.


Pius Michaud: Will a cell be provided in the tower as in the old building?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No, but there is a
cellar.


William Stevens Fielding: Is it proposed to provide a chime of bells?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Provision is being
made for a chamber to receive a carillon, should it later on be decided to install one. The committee has not yet decided to make the purchase, but provision is being made so that a carillon can be installed at any time without extra structural expense. I am sure the committee in Charge of the Parliament buildings will be glad to have an expression of opinion from the House as to whether a carillon should be installed at present.


George Eulas Foster: Take it up at the beginning of a new session.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The Senate has already expressed the opinion by resolution that a carillon should be installed without delay, but the committee is not anxious to obligate the Government to pay out immediately more money than is necessary, and therefore has postponed giving a decision for the time being.


John Howard Sinclair: How are the materials purchased?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: They are purchased
under the direction of the contractors, Peter Lyall & Sons, Limited, and by tender and contract, and the tenders are submitted to the Parliamentary Building Committee for approval before the contracts are awarded.


William Stevens Fielding: Does this Parliamentary Building Committee meet?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, it has met on an average perhaps three times a month since I became Minister of Public Works. During the past ten days we have been trying to have a meeting, but every time we called one many of the members of the committee were engaged on other duties, and I do not anticipate another meeting will be held until after prorogation.


William Stevens Fielding: Do all the members attend?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: They attend very well indeed.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Is the building stone
used in the construction of these buildings all Canadian, and if so, from what part of Canada does the stone come that is used on the exterior walls? I have been asked that question very often by visitors, and would like to know.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Apart from a small
quantity of Ohio stone which was used for trimmings about the doors and windows because it was employed in the old build-

ing, the stone used is Canadian stone, obtained partly from Wallace, Nova Scotia, and partly from the Tyndall quarries in Manitoba.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: The Manitoba stone is used in the interior trim?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: That is known as Nepean stone and comes from the vicinity of Ottawa.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: But I am referring to the interior trim.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: That comes from the Tyndall quarries.


John Howard Sinclair: Where does the marble come from?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Largely from Missis-quoi, Quebec.


James Hamilton Ross: What is the inscription on the tower? I cannot make it out.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I cannot give any information in regard to that.


John Flaws Reid: If I understand the minister correctly, there is a difference of opinion between the architect and the builders in regard to the construction of the tower farther up. Has the architect consulted the architects of other towers? Because this is a serious matter. We are running this tower up 300 feet, and I think a great deal of care should be exercised before the construction is gone on with if there is any difference of opinion between the architect and the builders.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am afraid I did not make my meaning very clear. What I intended to convey was that while both the builders and the architects are perfectly confident about the enduring qualities of the tower when erected, there was some slight difference of opinion as to whether it would be better to rush the work to completion now or to build 100 or 125 additional feet this summer and allow that to set before going on with the balance in the succeeding year. The committee threw its decision on the side of safety and decided that construction should not proceed very far this year, and that what is built in the next three months shall have time to set before the tower is completed.


Mr. REID (McKenzie) :: I am obliged to the minister for his explanation, because his former answer left me under the impression that the architect and1 the builders were not agreed.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Not at all.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I could not hear distinctly, but I think my hon. friend from Middlesex (Mr. Ross) asked what letters were being inscribed on the tower. *I did not. catch the minister's answer.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, he asked that question and I told him I could not give him the information.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Is there any means of finding that out? Because if the inscription should not be placed there this is a good time to stop it.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Yes, I hope before the committee rises to be able to give my hon. *friend the information.


William Stevens Fielding: Has all the compensation to the architect under the original contract been paid?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No, the payments
which are due to the architect have not all been paid. The architect's commissions were to be paid on a fixed sum of $5,000,000, but alterations in the plans took place; a larger and more expensive building has been provided, and on the extra cost the architects are being paid their regular commission.


Charles Marcil: Two per cent?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No, 51 per cent on
these so-called extras, such as the central heating station and the additional features that have gone into the building.


William Stevens Fielding: I do not wish to be understood as expressing any opinion as to what the compensation of these gentlemen should be. They have given us a magnificent piece of work, and I should like to see Mr. Pearson well treated. But my recollection is that when the explanations were last given we were shown that the terms of the contract were such that the architects, under the terms of their contract, got all their money when only half the work was done.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Under their contract they would be entitled to receive all their commission when only $5,000,000 had been expended on the buildings, and doubtless these payments were made. Since that time they have been drawing their fees as against this additional construction.


William Stevens Fielding: Then it is admitted that they are to receive extra compensation?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Oh, yes.


William Stevens Fielding: I do not think we were informed of that before. I am not complaining at all; I do not want to he ungenerous. My complaint was that the wording of the contract, I thought, was very clumsy.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I think that the feeling expressed by the hon. member for Shelburne and Queen's will be shared by the members of the House generally. I am sure that the Building Committee are unanimous on the question. They feel that we have a very fine building which reflects credit on the architects and builders and is a fitting home for the Houses of Parliament. I am sure that every hon. member would be sorry if those who were producing this building did so at a financial loss to themselves-the labourer is worthy of his hire. There was an exchange of letters at the time the contract was originally given with reference to limiting the commission to payment on the basis of a cost of $5,000,000. But the contract was not completed and the feeling was unanimous in the committee that further compensation should be given. I trust that that course will meet with general approval; to my mind it is eminently fair and reasonable.


Frank S. Cahill: Does my hon. friend think that an architect who is drawing $50,000 a year is suffering very much if he does not get any more than was originally agreed to? I think there should be some definite understanding about what this building is to cost, "when it is to he completed, and what amount by way of extras is to be paid to the contractor and to the architect. I am not at all in favour of this idea that these people are to he pampered and that we should spend money in this extravagant way, allowing them 51 per cent commission on extras because they did not come within a fifty-per-cent guess of what the building would cost. I think that the people of the country would rather condemn the architect who made such a bad guess about his work than agree to pay him 51 per cent on extras. My hon. friend talks about "magnificent work," and so on, but I have not met any person in this chamber who has said that the chamber itself is a very good one. I have not met any person who has been quite satisfied with it. As for the rest of the building-well, the lobbies on the sides here are such that an ordinary Galician farmer in Western Canada would not house his cattle in them.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: If my hon. friend's
statement of fact were correct, I would agree with him. But it is not true that the architect is drawing personal fees of $50,000 a year. The operations of the architect require the employment of a large staff and the carrying on of an extensive work in the way of designing, drafting of plans, and oversight of construction. It is not a case of one man drawing these architects' fees; he is paid for his organization in keeping up the work. I know that at times the architect's staff has included eight or ten or more highly-paid assistants-so I am advised by the architect himself; and these services cannot be secured without substantial cost. I think in justice to the architects of the building I should make this matter clear to the committee-that these fees include all the drafting and office staff and all exipenses entailed in the carrying on of the architect's work. If only a commission on the original $5,000,000 were paid I doubt whether the architect would get back a new dollar for an old; I do not think he would have anything for his own services at all. I do not think any member of the committee would like to see an outcome of that kind. Large business firms engaging the services of architects pay them a certain percentage for their professional work, and often the rate is more than 51 per cent. I am informed that the architects' fees in connection with the Sun Life Building in Montreal were between 6 and 7 per cent. The percentage paid in the case of the Parliament Buildings is regarded by those who are in the business as not excessive-indeed, it is looked upon as a modest fee. That being the case, is it not a matter of equity that the architect should receive that fee on whatever the cost of the building is? The cost of the building is not decided by the architect himself; it is a matter for the Building Committee. I repeat that this is a pleasing building, it is one that we can be proud of, and that is the view which has been expressed to me by many hon. gentlemen. Hundreds of people who have visited the building have expressed themselves in similar terms. You cannot have a building of this character without paying for it, and I am sure that members of Parliament will be the last to suggest that we be niggardly in the payment of those who have been responsible for planning and designing the magnificent building.


Mr. SUTHERLAND:: We were having some information with regard to the building of the tower a few minutes ago, and

I WPS endeavouring to ask a question. I would not undertake to criticise those who are responsible for the erection of this building; I would imagine they were highly trained and competent men. In view of past experience in building towers and public buildings in this city, one naturally views with a good deal of interest the building of a tower such as is now under construction. When the minister intimated that it was going to reach a height of somewhere in the neighbourhood of 300 feet, one can rest assured that there is going to be a tremendous weight resting upon the foundation of the tower. For several years back I have noticed that the outer foundations of the tower are built of concrete; in fact, I think that is the only part of the foundation of the building which is built of concrete. To the ordinary layman, it would appear that the concrete is not of a very good quality. I may be wrong in my estimation of it; but I have noticed that it has checked and that, on two different occasions, it has been gone over with cement and the checks filled in, in order to keep the wet and frost from working on it. This may be purely superficial; I am not saying that there is any serious defect in it; but to the ordinary layman it would appear to be rather an inferior quality of cement. In view of the fact that a tower which was put up in connection with the museum a few years ago, had to be torn down, and that another tower on the West Block tumbled over after it was put up, I am merely throwing out a hint that it might be well to have that matter thoroughly investigated.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have had no intimation of there being any doubt whatever about the soundness of the structure, and I am quite sure that the apprehensions of my hon. friend are ill founded. . I have pleasure in giving him that assurance, and I am sure he will be pleased to have it. I have discussed this matter quite recently with the contractons, and they are confident that the foundation will bear the weight of the tower. So confident are they, that, as I say, they wish to go ahead and finish the construction this summer, without allowing the nerw work much time to set.
In answer to a question asked by the hon. member for Middlesex West (Mr. Ross) and the hon. member for Halifax, the words which are being inscribed on the
tower, some of which are now visible, are as follows. Facing Wellington street:
Give the King thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the King's son.
That is taken from psalm 72 as, nc doubt, my hon. friend will recognize. On one side there will appear these words:
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
On the other side:
He shall have Dominion from sea to sea.
Also from psalm 72.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Is that approved by the Parliamentary Committee?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: That detail was not approved by the Parliamentary Committee.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: While one is diffident about expressing an opinion in regard to a matter of this kind offhand, it strikes me as being an absurdity; I do not think it will add anything to the beauty of the tower and it is altogether inappropriate.


Frank S. Cahill: Did I understand the
minister to state a few minutes ago that it was not the business of an architect to estimate the cost of a building before he submitted his plans?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I did not make that statement.


Frank S. Cahill: What did the minister
say about an architect not having anything to do with the cost of a building? My understanding is that an architect ordinarily gives an estimate of the cost of a building.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: What I said was simply this, that the architect gave an estimate of the cost of reconstruction of the old building. As my hon. friend probably knows, when the old walls were being removed, it was found that it would not do to put a new structure on them; that they were ill-constructed. Alterations had to be made as a consequence of that, and other alterations were made including the addition of a complete storey to the building, with the result that the cost is much larger because you have a much larger building. The additional area which has been secured under the revised plans is half as large as the area in the original building. It is not surprising, therefore, that we have to pay more money for the building.


John Howard Sinclair: When
the plan was changed, did the architect



[Stage Direction]
not make a new estimate of what the building he proposed to build would cost?
Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No new estimate was
made.


Andrew Ross McMaster: I have already expressed myself as to the lavish expenditure which has gone on in connection with this building, and I do not wish to insist upon this point. A matter which I would like to bring to the attention of the minister is the great draughts which are found in this building.


William Stevens Fielding: The drafts on the
treasury.


Andrew Ross McMaster: They are not draughts, they are hurricanes. The . draughts that I refer to are those which are very much felt in some of the seats in this chamber. I know that the health of some members has suffered from exposure to these draughts. I would ask the minister if he would have some expert on ventilation examine our ventilation system and see whether these draughts cannot be overcome. They are really a very serious matter to some of our members.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: During the holiday I shall direct the attention of the architect to this particular feature, or defect, of the building.


Charles Marcil: Have
these inscriptions been put on the tower?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: They are being put on the tower now.


Charles Marcil: I do not raise any question, but it will be raised sbmetime or 'another, regarding an inscription in French.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: This is a matter that has not come before the Parliamentary Buildings Committee. . I knew, half an hour ago, just as much about it as other members of the House. I have made inquiries since, and the intimation which I have is the result of my inquiries. I solicited an expression of opinion from the House and I am getting it now.


Charles Marcil: The two languages being official, the point will certainly be raised at some time or other, vand it might as well be considered now.


William Stevens Fielding: While I have no objection to the words myself, I can quite understand the point will be raised, and for that reason the hon. gentleman will be well ^advised not to put any such words on at all. I am not objecting to them; but they

would be objected to in other quarters, and we have questions enough of that kind without adding another one.


John Howard Sinclair: I should like that attention be drawn to the acoustics of this chamber. It was a great disappointment to myself that the acoustics are not better. This matter has been discussed for a number of years, and every time that the Estimates for the construction of the Parliament buildings has come before this House, the question has been drawn to the attention of the Government. We were assured that we had the best architects that could be found anywhere in Canada attending to this matter, but no one will say that the hearing properties of this chamber are good. There is something the matter with them, and that is one of the greatest difficulties, as regards the chamber. The chamber is very beautiful and comfortable in many ways with the exception of those draughts; but we want to hear one another. That is essential, and in this chamber one cannot hear as well as one should hear. I have a notion that one reason for the trouble is the way in which the ceiling is arranged and the space that exists between the walls and the ceiling. I am not sure whether that makes a difference or not; but I should like the minister to take an interest in this question and, before these architects are paid for the work they have done, they should be compelled to give us a chamber in which we can hear one another. This matter of acoustics must be a scientific question that a skilled architect ought to be able to work out. There are buildings elsewhere in the world that are perfect in that respect, and if there is any building or chamber that we ought to have perfect in that resnect, if possible, it is the House of Commons. This is where the battle of freedom is to be fought in the years to come, and it cannot be intelligently fought unless the representatives of the people can hear one another when they speak. This is a very important matter, and if anything further can be done to make this chamber a place where you can hear men sppak, I trust my hon. friend will give the matter his attention, and endeavour to have the acoustics improved during the recess. I do not think it can yet be too late to take steps to remedy the present condition.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am sure my hon. friend has noticed an improvement in the acoustic properties of the chamber over

the previous session of Parliament. I have noticed a very distinct improvement myself. Experiments have taken place, the closing of an entrance at one end, for instance, and alterations of a minor character with the idea of improving the acoustics of the chamber. It is, as my bon. friend has said, a scientific question, but he .also know's that acoustics is not an exact science. You cannot get the result that you propose in any given case. I can assure him, however, that the attention of the architects will he drawn to this matter during the recess.


Francis Henry Keefer: Is not this largely a question for ourselves to tackle? There are certain gentlemen whose voices are clearly heard throughout the chamber. When the Right Hon. Mr. Lowther, the Speaker of the British House, addressed us the other day his voice could be heard in every part of the chamber. My hon. friend from Bonaventure (Mr. Marcil) speaks in a low voice, yet his voice penetrates everywhere. You can always hear the voice of the hon. member for Shelburne and Queen's (Mr. Fielding). The trouble with some of us is that we mumble our words and talk in such low tones that I defy any one within three or four feet to hear what is being said. I think it is time for some of us, instead of criticising the architects, to begin and criticise ourselves.


Mr. COCKSHUTT:: I understand that a little under $9,000,000 has been expended on this building, and I heard the hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) say that that was a very lavish expenditure. Personally, I think we have got very good value indeed in this building, as building goes nowadays. I visited the province of Manitoba only a few months ago and went through their building, which is to accommodate only a comparatively few members compared with ours, being a building for one province only with a comparatively small population, yet that building has cost almost as much as this.


Mr. CAMPBELL:: That building is used not simply for chamber purposes; it is largely an office building.


William Foster Cockshutt: I went all through it and I saw the nature of it. It is nothing like the extent of this building/ I repeat, we have got very good value in this building. I think the money has been well expended. When we consider that this building is to stand for at least a hundred 2531
years, perhaps two hundred-it is built of the most durable material and should last a great many more years than that-I cannot agree with the hon. member for Brome that there has been a lavish expenditure, and if the building can be completed for $10,000,000, the cost cannot be called excessive at the present time.
With regard to acoustics, I believe that the hon. member for Port Arthur (Mr. Keefer) has given us one of the main reasons why gentlemen are not heard in this chamber. They do not exert themselves when they speak. I have never heard any one complain that he could not hear the hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster), and there are others who can always be heard-sometimes we hear more than we wish to. It is largely a matter of exerting the voice and trying to make people hear.
I would like to draw the minister's attention to the acoustics of another room, much smaller than this chamber, and that is the Railway Committee room. It is almost impossible to hear a speaker there. You can hear the voice, but the words all seem to run together, and the result is that a great many sentences are lost entirely. It is not because the room is too large, not because the speakers are not speaking up well, but there is something wrong in that room which certainly needs attention.
As to the tower, I hotpe that the very greatest care will be taken in its erection. I have seen one tower fall-in the western block, a few years ago. I happened to be looking out of my window in the direction of the tower, and saw it fall. And another tower was torn down, at the museum. I think we had far better build a tower that is safe than try to reach up too much towards the sky.


Joseph Archambault: "Safety first."


William Foster Cockshutt: Towers are a great mark for lightning, and we would not like to see a thunderbolt strike the tower of the Dominion House of Commons; that would be a calamity. I have no doubt that the minister has warned all those concerned that the first requisite is safety, and I hope that that is the policy that will be pursued in building the tower. So far as the committee is concerned, I think those that have had to do with it have given us excellent value. I do not know what my hon. friend from Pontiac (Mr. Cahill) is accustomed to over the river, when he says that part of this building might be used for housing cattle. This

building appears to me to be on very generous proportions, and all the appliances are of the best, and quite as good, I think, as hon. members are accustomed to in their own home town, if not a little better. Therefore, I think, we ought to be well satisfied, and I hope that the building will be completed in as good a fashion as the work has been done up to date.


Mr. BELAND:: Many hon. members have complained of the acoustics of this chamber. There is another room in this building in which the acoustics are too good, and the floor too sonorous altogether, and that is the library. I have never been able to understand, in the twenty years I have been in Parliament, why the floor of the library should not be covered with rubber or matting of some kind. It is almost impossible for a member to work in one of the alcoves of the library because of the noise of people who are walking through. This defect could be remedied in twenty hours or less. It is the only library I know of where the noise is so disturbing to frequenters. If this matter comes under the minister's jurisdiction, I hope he will appropriate the necessary sum of money to remedy this defect. Hon. members and senators on the first and second floors can hear the noise when the employees of the library are walking around to get books from the shelves or replace books that have been returned. This is an important matter, and I hope that the minister will give it his attention.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The question raised by my hon. friend has not, of course, come before the committee, because the floor of the library is just as it was in the olden days. I have no doubt that the reason it has continued so has been because those in charge of the library hesitated to cover up the very fine inlaid floor.


Henri Sévérin Béland: It is no longer pretty.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: Well, in some eyes it*
is. Possibly there may have been poor judgment on the part of those in charge, but I have noticed on many occasions the drawback to which the hon. member refers. The library is not directly under the Parliamentary Buildings ^Committee, nor under my direction; it is a joint concern of the Speakers of the Commons and Senate. I shall have the matter brought to their attention, and if I can personally facilitate the rectifying of the evil mentioned I shall certainly see that this is done before Parliament reassembles.
nvir, Cockshutt.]


Frank S. Cahill: I notice in the Auditor
General's Report, volume 3, page V-18, the commission to Peter Lyall & Sons is 4.4 per cent amounting to $105,613; and the paylists paid by the department amount to $65,600. What does that mean?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: That would be the
contractor's paylist paid through the Department of Public Works out of a vote similar (to this made previously.


Frank S. Cahill: That is not the question.
If the minister will look at the report he will find that there is mentioned (architect's commission of 4.4 per cent on P. Lyall's bill, $105,000 odd, and paylists paid by the department, of $65,000. There is a commission on that amount also. What is the explanation of that?


Mr. MOWAT:: While the minister is
looking up this information I might say a word in regard to the acoustics of this Chamber. I went into the Railway Committee room a couple of days ago with Mr. Pearson, the architect, and we tested the acoustics there. We both spoke in raised voices, and he said that the reason why the hearing was so bad there was that the room was not yet fully furnished. The room must have a mat be said, and he added that there was no doubt at all that hearing would improve when the room was properly furnished. He also thinks that this chamber possesses as good acoustic properties as any he has ever known, and he quotes Mr. Lowther, the Speaker of the British House, who spoke here the other day, as saying that in his opinion he had never spoken in a building or in a room which had better acoustic properties than this chamber. The hon. member for Antigonish and Guysborough (Mr. Sinclair) who raised this question almost disproved his own point, for every word he said was perfectly audible over here as far off as I am. The point I wish to make is this: hon. gentlemen have not apparently the mental attitude, when speaking, that is necessary if they wish to be heard. They get up, and instead of speaking, converse across the floor with somebody else and only a few members can hear them. If hon. gentlemen, every time they got .up, would make a speech instead of indulging in what is nothing but a private conversation, there would be no difficulty about hearing them and there Would be no complaint about the chamber. I think that this is a splendidly proportioned chamber, possessing first-rate acoustic properties, and if hon. gentlemen would always observe the rule

which has been laid down by the architect, never to address any one in particular but to look at the clock and speak at the clock, they would make themselves heard and there would be no trouble about the hearing in the chamber.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I can answer the question asked by the hon. member for Pontiac (Mr. Cahill). In the Auditor General's Report there is an item which reads:
Architect's commission of 4.4 per cent on P. Lyall's hill of February, 1919, $105,613.10, pay lists paid by department $65,660.15. Lyall's commission on bill and pay lists, $13,701.86, and voucher of R. W. Hunt & Company, $21.67 ; $8,139.85; paid as follows:	J. A. Pearson,

-or 4.4 per cent commission on these disbursements made on account of the building. I do not know what my hon. friend's question is, but if he wants to know whether Mr. Pearson's commission is on the total expenditure, the answer is, yes.


Frank S. Cahill: On his own commission
as well?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No; not on his own
commission.


Frank S. Cahill: The minister should make an attempt to get from the contractors an approximate estimate of what they believe it will take to finish the building, and the time in which the work will be done, so that we shall not go on from year to year spending more money without any knowledge as to when we are going to be through or what the total cost will be. If it is a case of the architect making suggestions to the contractor and the contractor making suggestions to the architect for further expenditures, of course, it goes without saying that we shall never complete the building and these gentlemen will draw pay from the Dominion of Canada for the rest of their natural lives. The Government, so far, have not made any statement as to what additional fees they expect to pay the architect, or when he will finish making new plans for additions to the building.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I have already covered
the points raised by my hon. friend. I have given a rough estimate of the probable cost of the construction work that remains to be done, and I have also indicated approximately when it will be done. I was grieved to hear the hon. member's reflections on the architects and builders. I have been in fairly intimate touch with them during the past six months and I have an entirely different impression of them
both. I think the original Parliamentary Committee-of course, I was not on the committee and therefore cannot take any credit for what they did-made an excellent selection when they decided upon the present architects, and they made an equally excellent selection in Messrs. Lyall & Sons. As far as my observation goes, these gentlemen have all been satisfactory, and I do not think there has ever been any desire on the part of any of them to continue the work unnecessarily. They would all be glad to have the job finished and be about other more lucrative business. I am sure that is the feeling of the contractors and the architects.


Frank S. Cahill: Does the architect say
that he is practically paying out what he is receiving in the hire of other architects? Does he not get this amount for preparing the plans and looking after them, whereas the country pays for the supervision?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: No, that is not the arrangement at all. The architect's duties are to draw the plans, oversee the construction, and see that the contractors carry out their work satisfactorily. What I did say was that the architect, in order to function properly, must have a very considerable staff about him, his own office staff. I am advised that at one time he had fifteen or sixteen employees in his office on his own pay roll, who must be paid out of whatever commission he would get on his work as architect of these buildings. What I pointed out before was, that these architect's fees were not personal payments to the architect but payment for the architect's services, which includes the services of his whole organization. It has been represented to me by the architect himself that if the architect's fees were to be limited to the fees on the original estimate of $5,000,000, he Would actually be out of pocket a large sum of money, instead of making a reasonable profit on the buildings, as he would in all fairness be entitled to.


John Allister Currie: Criticism of the buildings is a little out of place until they are entirely completed. The work is not yet finished. But it is not unusual for undertakings of this nature to receive considerable criticism. The party of hon. gentlemen opposite is the one that has always been prominent in decrying the efforts of this country to erect striking and noteworthy buildings. In this connection I wish to call the attention of the committee to a

certain historical document, a copy of which I hold in my hands. Everybody knows that the buildings which were destroyed by fire were very good buildings. But there is, no one who has had occasion to use the former buildings and compare them with the present structure but must come to the conclusion that the comparison is all in favour of the latter as regards beauty, accommodation, and interior arrangement are concerned. Now, the document I refer to was written by a gentleman named George Brown-Hon. George Brown to be perfectly accurate-in 1864, to Sir John A. Macdonald, at that time the Hon. John A. Macdonald, and it had reference to the former buildings, then under construction. After hearing this letter hon. gentlemen will come to the conclusion that history repeats itself, only the language used in 1864 was more mild and gentle than that which has been employed on the present occasion.


Joseph Archambault: What is the date of the letter?


John Allister Currie: The letter reads as follows:
Toronto, August 15, 1S64.
My dear ISir,-MeDougair and' I made an examination' of the Ottawa buildings on Friday night, and we came to the conclusion that it was utterly impossible to take possession of the departmental buildings this Fall. By paying an enormous sum-say $715,000' to Sl'OO.OtO'O extra to the contractors-the thing might be done in December, but it would be at the risk otf the floors bursting up, and sickness to all who take possession of the rooms. What can be done is, to have the departments moved early in the year and Parliament summoned on the first of May, if that is thought to toe bettei than another session at Quebec; it is open foi adoption. But removal this fall would bring great discredit on us all.
I write all this very unwillingly. It would suit me vastly better to go at once to Ottawa, and I know how anxious you all are about it. but it was impossible to come to any other conclusion, after seeing the works and conversing with Mr. Page and the contractors.
The buildings are magnificent; the style, the extent, the site, the workmanship, are all surpassingly fine. But they are just 500 years in advance of the times. It will cost half the revenue of the province to light them and heat them and keep them clean. Such monstrous folly was never perpetrated in this world before. But as we are in for it, I do think the idea of stopping short of completion is out of the question. I go in for tower, rotunda, fountains, and every conceivable embellishment. If we are to be laughed at for our folly, at least let us not be ridiculed for a half-finished pile. I go in for making it a superb folly that will bring visitors from all countries to see a work they can't see elsewhere. To say the truth, there is nothing in London, Paris or Washington approaching to it.

The Governor General's residence is a miserable little house, and the grounds those of an ambitious country squire. To patch up that building will cost more than a new one, and 10 or 12 acres on the river ought to be taken into the grounds.
In haste,
Yours sincerely,
Geo. Brown.
Hon. J. A. Macdonald.
That letter was addressed to the Honourable, afterwards Sir John Macdonald, ir. 1864 When they were erecting the Parliament buildings which the party of my hon. friends opposite said were five hundred years in advance of the time. Now if those buildings were five hundred years in advance of the time, I would not be surprised if my hon. friends opposite were to say that the present buildings are a thousand years ahead of the time. I would commend the letter I have just read to the hon. member for Pontiac (Mr. Cahill). I have had the honour of seeing a great number of magnificent buildings, but I do not think there are very many parliament buildings in the world which can compare with the buildings here; certainly there is not any in Great Britain or in Prance to compare with them. There may be at Washington, but the style of architecture there is very different. There are two buildings in Washington which may compare with the Ottawa buildings-one the Capitol building and the other the Library-but both are of different architecture. There is no gothic building in the world which compares in magnificence, size and architecture with the Ottawa buildings.
At Six o'clock the Committee rose and the House took recess.

PRIVATE BILLS

[Stage Direction]
DIVORCE-ALPHONSE LeMOYNE DE MARTIGNY
House again in committee on Bill No. 120, for the relief of Alphonse LeMoyne de Martigny.-Mr. Ross.-Mr. Boivin in the Chair.
Georges Henri Boivin: When this Bill was last before the committee the preamble had been read, the consideration thereof had been postponed, and we were considering clause 1. Shall the clause carry?


Jean-Joseph Denis: 
William Cameron Edwards: Was it the same house in every case?


Jean-Joseph Denis: No, the woman and the
man lived in different houses. They lived in the same house, it is quite true, but there is no proof whatever that anything wrong ever took place between them. If anybody does say that anything of the kind took place he must take for granted something which was not proved in the case. From the judgment rendered by the Senate the inference apparently is

drawn that under the circumstances something improper must have occurred, and consequently the woman must have been guilty. I do not share that opinion, but even if that were true I would not take much interest in the fact as to whether the woman might be gitilty or not. I say that in cases like this a divorce should not be allowed. It should not be allowed because of the conduct of the husband. It should not be allowed because-


Mr. FRIPP:: Mr. Chairman, I rise to
a point of order. I submit to the committee that, under a ruling made by this House four years ago in the Vineberg case, the decision of a committee such as the Private Bills Committee cannot be reviewed by this House, otherwise the usefulness of such committee would be at an end. The House must accept the decision of the committee which has dealt with the particular case to which my hon. friend refers; and the only course open to my hon. friend is to move that the Bill be referred back to that committee to take further evidence; he cannot argue, as he proposes to argue, that the committee did not come to a proper conclusion. If that were true, then every bill that is passed upon by the Private Bills Committee would be subject to review by the House and the committee practically would not function at all. I submit it is not open to my hon. friend to take the position that he does; he must accept the decision of the committee in this case, or move to refer the case back to take further evidence.


Jean-Joseph Denis: On the point of order I
wish to state that the questions of fact which were submitted to the Private Bills Committee, or the Senate, are questions which are pertinent to this committee to look into. I submit that we have a right to go into those questions of fact, examine them, and pass judgment upon them. If the opinion just given by the hon. member for Ottawa was well founded the decisions rendered by the Private Bills Committee, or by the Senate, on questions of fact, would be supreme. In that case it would be unnecessary for a bill such as this to be brought before the House as we would have to take it for granted that the moment the Senate, or the Private Bills Committee, had passed a bill the House had nothing more to do with it. I submit such is not the case.


Georges Henri Boivin: Shall the clause
carry?


Jean-Joseph Denis: No, I have not finished;
I was arguing the point of order.


Georges Henri Boivin: Does any other hon.
gentleman desire to speak upon the point of order?


Mr. STEIN:: I think my hon. friend
from Joliette has given a good reason why the point of order should not be accepted by you, Mr. Chairman. The hon. gentleman who raised the point of order argues that instructions may be given to the Private Bills Committee to allow further evidence to be adduced, but that no argument can be brought forward in this House against the evidence that has already been heard by the Senate. Well, I respectfully submit that this is a mistake. An hon. member who wishes to move that instructions should be given to the Private Bills Committee to allow further evidence to be adduced must discuss the facts already presented in order to sustain his motion. I do not think, therefore, that the point of order can be maintained.


Georges Henri Boivin: The point of order
raised by the hon. member for Ottawa is, that this committee has no right to review the evidence adduced before the Committee on Miscellaneous Private Bills and that the decision arrived at by that committee must be accepted, or the Bill be referred back for further consideration. I am sorry that I cannot sustain the point of order raised by the hon. member. If the committee of the whole House had no right to review the facts and the evidence there would certainly be no reason whatever for submitting the Bill to this committee, because a bill can only be referred back to any Select Standing Committee by the House itself. I have a distinct recollection that on more than one occasion a Bill of the same nature as that which is now before the committee was voted upon in com mittee and the different clauses of the Bill rejected after a very full discussion of the evidence adduced before the committee of the Senate, and this in spite of the fact that the bills had been favorably considered by the Committee on Private Bills.


Jean-Joseph Denis: Your decision, Mr. Chairman, being that this committee has the right to go into the evidence, I think if one reads the evidence carefully it will appear that it is very doubtful indeed whether the woman is culpable. Under the circumstances she should be allowed to have the benefit of the doubt; therefore we must take it for granted that in this case the wife is not guilty. Then the question arises: if she is not guilty, why did she not appear before the committee tc defend herself? Well, there are

several answers to that question. In the first instance, it may be said that she has already successfully defended herself before the courts of her province. In the second place, it is not very pleasant for a woman to appear before a committee and expose the facts relating to a case of this kind, and she might, therefore, choose not to appear. But the third, and, perhaps chief reason, might be that she is in collusion with her husband; that both are desirous that the divorce should be granted and she, not being guilty, would let her husband appear before the committee and contend that she was guilty in order that, to meet the desire of both, the divorce be granted. It is well known that no divorce can be granted in a case where collusion exists. In this particular case we have to come to one of two conclusions. Either the wife is not guilty, and for personal reasons she did not want to appear, or she did not want to appear because of collusion with her husband. In view of these facts, particularly in view of the fact that the culpability of the woman has not been proved or at least has been only very doubtfully established, I think that the divorce should not be granted.
But apart from the reasons concerning this particular case there are other general principles which enter into a consideration of the matter. We have no divorce law in Canada; consequently, there is no direction to guide Parliament in its decision to grant or not to grant divorces. In the province of Quebec we have a law which provides for separation from bed and board. That law declares that under certain circumstances the wife has the right to ask for separation from bed and board, and that under other circumstances the husband may apply for a like separation. When, therefore, there is a law defining the circumstances and conditions under which separation can be granted-and in this case I compare separation to divorce -the matter is made very much easier. But as I say, we have no divorce law and the only direction, if there be one, is in what I might call the unwritten law under which Parliament grants divorces. And what is the basis of that unwritten law? When the law is written the basis is the letter of the law, but in a case like this, where the law is unwritten, the basis is justice, honour, religion and conscience. The direction which Parliament must follow is indicated in these four words. I would be very careful in a case like this to avoid raising any question of race or religion, and I must point out that I am
pleading this question on the point of law and not on the point of race, religion or prejudice. On the point of law, then, I say that this is a case from the province of Quebec. It is a case in which Catholics are concerned, and I should hesitate to say that the principles which apply to Catholics in a matter of this kind should be set aside or not taken into account. When the case comes from Ontario, where the parties are Protestant, the law of that province and the religious principles of the parties must be taken into account. Similarly when the case comes from Quebec, the religion of the parties, the law of the province of Quebec and the conditions which exist there should be taken into account. However, I say this only en passant, because I think I can safely put my case on a more general basis; I think I can look at it from the broader point of view, although I would not like to pass over the point which I have just put forward. In a case like this, then, I can safely place on the same footing the Protestant minister and the Catholic priest, and I think I can invoke the principles of both the minister and the priest in contending that a divorce should not be granted in a case like this. We all acknowledge the sanctity of marriage; it has been recognized by all creeds, by all races, and at all times in the history of the world. We are all aware of the fact that Protestant ministers hold just as strong opinions against divorce as do Catholic priests.
Starting from the point that Parliament is supreme and that Parliament is called upon to pass an Act for the relief of Alphonse LeMoyne de Martigny, I ask: Is this a case where relief should be given? Is this a case where the plaintiff is entitled to relief? The plaintiff in this case is not entitled to relief because he does not deserve it. When a man has lost his wife, not through being guilty himself, when a man has been separated from his wife and the conduct of the wife has been bad, that man can come before Parliament and ask for relief, and Parliament in its wisdom will decide whether or not relief will be granted. In many cases relief will be granted where the husband deserves that relief; but in this particular case relief cannot be granted because the conduct of the husband is much worse than that of the wife, even assuming that her conduct has been bad, which has not been proven in the present case. When a man's conduct is that of this man, as was proven and declared before this committee, the last time the Bill was before the com-

4C06
mittee, and more particularly, as was pointed out by my hon. friend from Ka-mouraska (Mr. Stein), when the conduct of the man has been proven to be such as to be much worse in the present case than the conduct of the wife, even if the wife were guilty, I say that the man is not entitled to relief. What is he seeking relief for? The only relief which Parliament can give to him is relief from paying a pension of $125 a month to his wife and child. Surely he does not want relief to get married again, because, according to his own admission, he is living with another woman and, since he has been separated from his wife, he has been living with several other women. What relief does he want? He wants to get rid of his wife, to stop paying her $125 a month, and what is much worse, he wants to get rid of the moral and natural obligation of paying a pension to his child. That is the only relief which can be granted in the present case. The principle upon which I stand is that in every case where the husband is more guilty than the wife, he should not be granted relief. Before a man can come before Parliament and ask for relief, he must be guiltless of wrong doing. Then-and this is my last word- are we going to forget that through granting relief to this man, who does not deserve such relief, we are going to declare that the mother of this child is a bad woman? This young girl, twelve years of age, will be told in years to come, simply because Parliament wanted to grant relief to the father, which relief the father did not deserve, that her mother was a bad woman and that judgment to that effect was given by the Parliament of Canada.
Therefore, to summarise my opinion in a few words, I say: Taking into consideration all the circumstances, I submit the case has not been proven, or at all events the proof which has been offered is so doubtful that I would not pass judgment upon it and say that the wife is guilty. In the second place, I say: Even should the wife be guilty, the husband cannot ask for relief from Parliament because he himself is more guilty than his wife, and in a case like this where there is no written law upon which the husband can base his claim, no written direction to Parliament, Parliament in its wisdom and discretion and hy all the means in its power should say to this man that, until he has proven himself to have clean hands, he cannot come to Parliament and ask a divorce from his wife, simply because that will release him from paying a pension to his wife and 
child, which pension he is bound, by all laws of right and nature, to pay.


Mr. HOCKEN:: This is a very curious situation. We find a man, who is a French Canadian, getting a divorce through the Senate Committee, and all his compatriots in this House are opposed to his getting the relief for which he is asking. My hon. friend (Mr. Denis) proclaims the doctrine that because this man is a Roman Catholic, he should not get a divorce. I had an idea that the laws of this country granted to a Roman Catholic the same rights as to a Protestant.


Jean-Joseph Denis: I would not like my words to be distorted. I never said anything of the kind. I said, on the point of law, that we should not lose sight of the fact that these people are Catholic. I did not for a minute say that this point of law was supreme; that it should be the test of the case. I said that that was one consideration that should weigh in the balance.


Horatio Clarence Hocken: That is advanced by the hon. member as the reason why this couple should not be granted a divorce. This man is entitled to the same rights and privileges as any other citizen in Canada, and I do not see how we can get away from that. He finds himself in this position; he finds himself required by a decree of the court to pay $100 a month alimony to his wife who, he declares,-and she does not deny it,-is living in adultery with another man and has been doing so for a number of years. That being the case, the man undoubtedly should be given relief, because only in this way can he accomplish two things. Only in this way he can escape payment of alimony to a woman who apparently does not deserve alimony, and as she has another man providing for her, why should he pay alimony? In the next case, if he is granted a divorce-


Mr. PARENT:: Where does the hon. gentleman see in the evidence that there is another man providing for the lady in question?


Horatio Clarence Hocken: I do not think there is any doubt about that.


Georges Parent: Where does he see that in the evidence?


Horatio Clarence Hocken: That is the statement made.


Georges Parent: By whom? It is a bare and unwarranted statement.


Horatio Clarence Hocken: The other side of the question is this, that if this man is granted

a divorce, he is then in a position to get married and to live lawfully with a woman. He is entitled under the law of the country to get married again if this Bill goes through.


Mr. MARCILE:: Never.


Horatio Clarence Hocken: The hon. member says, "never". I quite understand that if the man remains a member of the Roman Catholic Church, he cannot do that. The law, however, of the church is one thing and the law of the State is another; but as regards granting a divorce and putting a man in a position to marry again, the law of the State is supreme. Whatever penalty the ecclesiastical authorities like to impose is entirely within their discretion-and I am not going to question their right to do that.
I do not see any reason in the world why the man's race or religion should debar him from having the same rights and privileges as any other citizen of Canada. The hon. member for Joliette (Mr. Denis), who ha3 just sat down, points out that by the laws of the province of Quebec a man can get separation, but that separation does not save him from paying alimony. To escape paying alimony and to undertake proper relations with some other woman, this man has to get a divorce, and I think he is entitled to that. The hon. member for Quebec West (Mr. Parent), speaking on this question the other day, said that the woman had not been convicted of adultery, and he read part of the evidence taken at a trial in 1912 to prove that point. I submit that there was plenty of time between 1912 and the present day for this woman to be guilty.


Georges Parent: If the hon. gentleman
will allow me to correct him, I said that in 1919 the same evidence was brought forward, and additional alimony was granted the lady in question. Is that sufficient for the hon. gentleman?


Horatio Clarence Hocken: I would say that there
was still plenty of time between 1919 and 1921 for the woman to be guilty. An application for a divorce was made, and this woman was notified to appear and give her evidence in rebuttal of the most serious charge that can be laid against any woman, but she took no steps whatever to clear herself of the charge before the proper tribunal set up by this country. I do not think under the circumstances that we can assume that the woman is innocent. It would be an extraordinary thing if we could. If we are going to review the
evidence, we ought to have a divorce committee of this House. For us to refuse to accept the evidence that was presented by witnesses sworn before the Senate Divorce Committee, and then without re-examining the witnesses, to say that they did not tell the truth, that the facts are not as stated, and that we will therefore throw the Bill out, seems to me to be an extraordinary proceeding. I do not think there would be any justification for that at all.
The other ground stated the other day why this divorce should not be granted was that there was collusion. The hon. member for Gaspe (Mr. Lemieux) argued that because he suspected collusion the Bill should be put over. Now, the Senate Committee was better able to decide that question than this House, because they had all the witnesses before them, and were able to examine them on that point as well as on any other point. Surely we are not going to say that the Senate Committee, which heard the evidence of these witnesses, is not in a better position to judge whether there was collusion than we are. I think it is an extraordinary thing that an attempt should be made to prevent this Bill going through when scores of Bills of this kind go through this House without any more or any less evidence of collusion than in this case.


Georges Parent: Does the hon. member
know of any other case where evidence was offered before the Private Bills Committee with the view of contradicting the evidence taken by the Senate Divorce Committee?


Horatio Clarence Hocken: No, but I say that the
gentleman who appeared before the Private Bills Committee did not appear for the woman.


Georges Parent: Suppose he appeared
for the sake of society.


Horatio Clarence Hocken: He did not come there
representing anybody but himself; he said so. I do not know that we should attach much weight to representations made in that way by a man who was not sworn, but who simply appeared before the committee to make a statement. He said that he was a relative, and that he had the interests of the child at heart. I do not think that his statement should take precedence over the sworn evidence taken by the Senate Divorce Committee.
I do not agree with the doctrine of the hon. member for Joliette, that this Parliament should act on the unwritten law rather than the written law. We have a method of getting divorce in this country,

and that method has been followed in this case. Everything has been properly done, the proper tribunal has given a decision, and now when the case comes to us, surely we are not going to go all over it again. If we attempt to do that, we must call the witnesses, and appoint a committee to hear the evidence that has already been taken by the Senate Committee. It is quite immaterial to me what happens to Mr. Martigny; I would not know him from a side of sole leather; but if we are going to have equality under the law, surely this man is entitled to the same consideration as scores of other men whose applications for divorce have been granted by this Parliament. It is perfectly absurd to say that because the man is a French Canadian he should not have the same rights as a British Canadian.


Georges Parent: Who says that?


Horatio Clarence Hocken: I am fighting for you fellows.


Mr. LEMIEUX:: The question is not
whether this gentleman is entitled to equal rights with a British Canadian. We live under a constitution that gives equal rights to all Canadians and British subjects. The question is whether in the present instance the facts and the procedure justify the granting of a divorce. Divorce, like separation from bed and board, is always a very serious matter, as it affects the fundamental rights of the family and of society. The family is the basis of society, and if you destroy the family by the granting of divorce, or separation from bed and board, without scrutinizing very closely the facts of the case, you are not playing fair or doing the manly thing towards your conscience and towards society.
In the present case, I would call upon my hon. friend to read very closely the evidence which has been adduced in the other chamber, and as a gentleman who claims to be a Christian, as I do, he will find that the evidence does not justify the granting of a divorce in this case. If, as was stated the other day, in the courts of this land, where applications for separations are heard, the judges found that the facts did not justify granting a separation, I say there is much less ground for the committee of the Senate granting a divorce in this case. At all events, that is the business of that committee. But this House has also a committee, the Committee on Private Bills, and I think that we are entitled by jurisprudence to ask that

the evidence be heard before the Private Bills Committee.
I have said on another occasion that there has been collusion in this case, and I say now, there has been collusion. Further, Mr. Chairman, I object as a member of this House to being canvassed on such a serious matter as this or on any other matter coming before this Parliament, and there has been a systematized canvassing of members for the granting of this divorce. I object to the canvassing of members on any question, because members of Parliament must act as free agents; but if there should be objection in any one particular instance it is in the case of divorces. It is nothing short of a scandal that members should be button-holed and canvassed for the purpose of giving to a young lothario at large the divorce which he is sc anxious to secure. The evidence in the case does not justify the granting of the divorce. There is collusion in the case, and it seems to me that when this statement is made there should be no desire to rush the passage of the Bill. We are all sitting in this case as judges on the bench, and when a judge informs the court, first, that he has been canvassed, and secondly, that he can prove that there is collusion in the case, I do not see why his brother judges should say: "No, we must deal with the case as it is before us." I say, Mr. Chairman, that as a judge in this case I have been canvassed, and I have the evidence that there is collusion. Surely, then, the Parliament of this country will not lower itself to the point of granting a divorce under such circumstances. I will object strenuously to the passing of this Bill.


William Cameron Edwards: I am not a member of
the Private Bills Committee.


Rodolphe Lemieux: You are a member of
the House.


William Cameron Edwards: I am aware of that
fact, thank you. I am not a member of the Private Bills Committee and therefore no one would canvass me in regard to this or any other divorce case. Nor has any one done so. I have not read the evidence in this case, and was not present in the House when it was under consideration before. So that any conclusion I have drawn is based on what I have heard since eight o'clock. Now, in regard to the question of collusion-and my hon. friend (Mr. Lemieux) states positively that there was collusion-it strikes me as somewhat strange that hon. gentlemen who preceded the

member for Maisonneuve, on that side of the House, should try on behalf of the defendant to prevent this divorce going through. If, according to the hon. member for Maisonneuve, there was collusion, then undoubtedly the two parties would be agreed on the desirability of having the divorce go through; they would both want it to go through. I do not think that the question of the religion of the applicants for divorces is something that should be brought up in the House. I do not care what their religion may be, because whether or not a divorce should be granted to any applicant is a matter that should rest on a basis other than the respective religions of the parties. If the case has not been proved against the defendant then the divorce should not be granted. I understand that when the committee passes its opinion on a Bill like this it takes all these facts into consideration, and having done so reports to the House with a view to having its decision approved by the House. It is then the responsibility of members of Parliament, doing their duty in the case, to come to a conclusion as to whether or not the fact of adultery has been established against the woman. Those who think that the case has not been made out, according to the evidence submitted to the Committee, certainly 'should vote against the Bill; that is the only course open to them; and those who consider that the evidence is sufficient, and that the case has been established, must record their opinion the other way. ' One thing must strike every one as being a little strange in this matter,-I know it influences me in my judgment of the case,-and that is that this woman, who is within easy reach of Ottawa, has never tried to prove her innocence. She is charged before the Senate with having lived in adultery with this man, not in one house alone; whenever he moved she seemed to move also and live in the same house with him. As my hon. friend from Toronto (Mr. Hoeken) says, that is the gravest charge that can possibly be made against a woman; nevertheless, notwithstanding that the defendant in this case lives in proximity to Ottawa, she has not made any attempt to defend herself against that charge. That fact weighs with me, as it would in any other case, whether it were a divorce case or not. One is bound to be influenced by a fact of that kind. We had nothing in rebuttal of the statement made by the petitioner; no evidence has been adduced to contradict it. Under the circumstances I do not see what else the Private Bills Committee or the Senate could have done, on
such evidence as they had, than to recommend a divorce. I do not see that the Private Bills Committee could have done anything else than endorse the act of the Senate in passing the Bill on to this House. For the reasons I have stated I shall have to vote in favour of the granting of the divorce.
Before I conclude I might remark that this case furnishes another example to this House and to the country of the deplorable situation that exists in this country in the matter of divorce. We should have divorce courts in the Dominion of Canada. I have long been of that opinion, which I believe is shared by the vast majority of the people of the country. Applicants for divorce should not have to come before the Senate and the House of Commons but should have their cases tried by properly constituted courts established from one end of the country to the other.


Charles Adolphe Stein: I am sorry to have to address the House again on this subject as I did on Monday last, but, like several of my colleagues on this side of the House and even some hon. gentlemen on the other side, I feel that owing to lack of evidence in this case the Bill should not be accepted by this committee. Of course, I have the greatest respect for hon. gentlemen on the other side of the House who do not share this opinion, and their position has been very frankly stated by the member for Frontenac (Mr. Edwards). No doubt many other hon. gentlemen on the other side are in the same position as himself; they have not read the evidence. I believe that if hon. gentlemen did read the evidence carefully and, as I have done, several times, they would have no difficulty in concluding that there is not in this case that amount of evidence which is ordinarily brought before the Senate Committee on similar cases. As I stated the other day, I took the trouble to read the evidence in a few other divorce cases and I failed entirely to find any such lack of evidence in any other divorce proceedings as there is in the present case. The hon. member for Toronto alluded a few moments ago to the evidence that had been adduced before the courts of the province of Quebec in this case as far back as the year 1912. I may be allowed to correct some of his statements. The other day when I spoke on this matter I had not the exact dates before me; I have them to-day, however. The first time the case came before the courts of Quebec in the city of Montreal was in the year 1912, on November 22. There Mrs. de Martigny

instituted an action against her husband to obtain separation from bed and board, under our provincial law. She secured a judgment in 1912 and her husband was ordered to pay her a monthly allowance of $100. The matter remained in abeyance until 1919, when Mrs. de Martigny again came before the Montreal courts and asked that the monthly allowance of $100 be increased. Her husband contested her petition and also asked to be given the custody of the child, and in order to sustain his petition he alleged the very same facts as those alleged by him in his petition before the Senate Divorce Committee. The case was heard, both parties presented evidence, and two judgments were rendered on April 23, 1919, by Mr. Justice Duclos. He increased the allowance, rejected the petition of the husband to be given the custody of the child, and declared that the husband had not proved his allegation that it was not in the interest of the child that she should remain with her mother as previously, because he was openly living with another woman. The husband appealed against those judgments in the Court of Revision, and while that appeal was pending the husband's mothfer filed
9 a.m. an intervention in the case claiming the custody of her grandchild, stating that in her opinion neither parent deserved to have the custody of the child.


Georges Henri Boivin: Order. I am sorry to have to interrupt my hon. friend, but if he will refer to rule 25 he will find that Private Bills have precedence only for the first hour on Friday nights. It is now nine o'clock, and therefore I will be obliged to report progress on this Bill.
Progress reported.

The House again in Committee of Supply.
The Naval Service-to provide for the maintenance of the Royal Canadian Navy, $2,500,-
000.	I


Ernest Lapointe: Will the minister tell the committee what was done last year with the money then voted for the Naval Service?


Hon. C. C. BALLANTYNE (Minister of the Naval Service) :: I might first explain that I stated last year when the Naval Estimates were up that it was the intention of the Government to dispose of the Rainbow, the Niobe, and the two old

submarines, and that we had accepted from the Mother Country one modern cruiser, two modern torpedo destroyers, and two modern submarines. Those ships arrived at Halifax on December 18 last year, and at the present time they are on the Pacific coast. They will be leaving there shortly on their return to Halifax.
In answer to my hon. friend from Quebec East as to what we did with the money voted last year, we kept up the naval college, the naval dock at Halifax and Esquimalt, and we maintained in commission up to the time we sold them the Rainbow and the Niobe.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Who purchased the Niobe, at what price, and was the full price paid? Also, who purchased the Rainbow, at what price, and was the full price paid?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Niobe was
sold to the New Brunswick Rolling Mills Limited, after public tenders had been called for, for $135,000.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Was the full price paid?


Georges Parent: Were many tenders put in?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I wish to slightly correct my statement. The New Brunswick Rolling Mills Limited bid of $135,000 included the Niobe and the two obsolete submarines. They have paid $20,000 so far on the purchase, and the balance is payable according to the terms of the contract. The following tenders were received for the Rainbow:
C. S. Sutherland Limited, Edmonton. $ 5.000
Yarrows, Limited, Vancouver..	. .	..	8,000
Alexander Zeeve, Seattle, Wash.. ..	34,565
Evans, Coleman & Evans, Limited,
Vancouver	 36,855
Nieder and Marcus, Seattle, Wash.. ..	67,777
The department accepted the highest tender of $67,777, and the money has been paid into the consolidated revenue fund.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Was it mentioned in the tenders for the sale of the Rainbow that only part of the purchase price need be paid, and time would be given for payment of the balance? My information is that it was a cash transaction, and some-


John Flaws Reid: Louder, we
want to hear you down here.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: I am asking the minister if when tenders were called for the purchase of the Niobe it was stipulated that it was to be a cash price. The minister has answered that part of the price of the successful tenderer was paid I should

like to know if it was not stipulated that the price was to be a cash price, because I have information from persons who did tender on a cash basis, and their tender was refused. Therefore, I think it is in the interest of the committee that we should know what the stipulations in the tenders were.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: My information
is that no particular terms were specified in regard to payment. We simply offered for sale by public tender the Rainbow and the Niobe. Cash has been paid for the Rainbow, but only a partial payment of $20,000 has been made for the Niobe.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: I think it is my duty to
point out that when these tenders were called for the Niobe-and that is the only ship I have any knowledge of-it was understood between the department and some persons in Ottawa who were prepared to purchase that ship that it was to be a cash transaction, and they were the highest tenderers on that basis. Now it appears that this New Brunswick firm was awarded the ship by simply paying $20,000. I should like to know if there is a binding contract with the New Brunswick company for the payment of the balance, when the payments are due, and whether the ship has been delivered to the purchasers or is still under the control of the department until the full purchase price is paid.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. member is quite right that some tenders were sent in on a cash basis, but inasmuch as those tenders were all too low I refused to accept them and called for tenders on three different occasions. The tenders that we received were as follows:
John Simon, Halifax, N.S	 $20,000
J. E. Lipsitz Company, Chelsea, Mass. $80,000 Baker & Betcherman, Ottawa	 88,000


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Those were cash offers?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes. The next
tenders were from:
J. E. I.ipsitz Company, Chelsea, Mass. $80,000 Baker & Betcherman, Ottawa	 88,000
We did not accept those tenders either because we thought they were too low, and for a third time we called for bids, with the following results:
Baker & Betcherman, Ottawa	$100,500
A. Carson & Co., St. John, N.B		112,000
Therefore we accepted later on the offer of the New Brunswick Rolling Mills Limited of $135,000, which included the two submarines, because their bid was a
good deal more than the highest bid of $112,000 from Messrs. A. Garson & Co. We gave them time to make their payments.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Were not the tenders of
$100,000 by the Ottawa firm and $112,000 by' the Halifax firm simply for the Niobe? Did these two tenderers understand that by making a further tender they would have to include the two submarines? And, further, what value did the department put on the two submarines that were thrown in to the successful New Brunswick tenderer at $135,000?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Even so, Mr. Chairman, if we deduct the price of the submarines the tender by the New Brunswick Rolling Mills Limited was still considerably higher than any of the other tenders.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Does the minister consider it was fair to ask tenders for the Niobe alone, and then, not having received sufficiently high tenders, to say to one company, without giving the others an opportunity to tender, "Oh, you may tender also upon two submarines"?


Georges Parent: Was that the case?


Alfred Ernest Fripp: That is the information I have. I should like to get an answer to my question as to whether the ship has been delivered to the purchaser or is still under the control of the department until the full purchase price is paid?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Niobe, I regret to say, is still at Halifax, and we may have some trouble with this firm. I have handed the matter over to the Department of Justice. But I am sure that all hon. members will at once see that after these bids came in, it was my duty, as the responsible minister, to accept the highest bid, and undoubtedly the bid of the New Brunswick Rolling Mills Limited was much higher than the next highest bid.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Of course it is the duty of the minister to accept the highest bid. But the minister has not yet made himself clear as to whether the two unsuccessful tenderers, namely, the Halifax firm and the Ottawa firm were made acquainted with the fact that the two submarines would also be included in the purchase price. My information is that they were simply asked to tender on the Niobe alone, which is an entirely different matter.


William Stevens Fielding: Would it not be good business in asking tenders to have it clearly understood what the terms are so as to prevent any misunderstanding?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am informed that the bids were on the same basis. All these tenderers were asked to bid for the Niobe and also for the submarines. Some of them bid for the Niobe alone, but the New Brunswick Rolling Mills Limited bid for the Niobe and for the submarines also. But if we deduct from the $135,000, $16,000 for the submarines, the price that we got from the Rolling Mills Limited for the Niobe was by far the highest price.


William Stevens Fielding: How does my hon.
friend arrive at $16,000 as the price for the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That was the highest bid we got for the two submarines.


Georges Parent: Were there any separate tenders called for the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Tenders were
called for the Niobe as well as for the submarines. The highest bid for the submarines was $16,000.


Mr. RINFRET:: Were there other bids for the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, quite a number of them. Messrs. A. Garson and Company, St. John, N.B., offered $6,500 for both-for CC-1, $3,000, and for ,CC-2, $3,500. Then John Simon, Halifax, quoted for the CC-1, $6,000, and the CC-2, $6,000.


Louis Édouard Fernand Rinfret: How much was paid for these submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: $1,100,000. We paid about $1,200,000 for the Niobe.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: When the minister found that this New Brunswick company were able to pay only $20,000 on a purchase price of $135,000, did he take any security for the balance? Would it not have been better to accept the cash offer of $100,000 tendered by the Ottawa firm than to accept only $20,000 cash from another firm and then have to try to collect the balance through the Department of Justice?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. gentleman would be quite correct in taking that ground if I had had any information before me at the time that the New Brunswick Rolling Mills were not able to pay for the Niobe. I have no reason now to believe that they are not able to pay. We did make careful inquiries with regard to the standing of the New Brunswick Rolling Mills, and the information was that their financial standing was good. Two bids were received, one for $88,000 and the

other for $112,000, and so far as I could tell both firms were in good financial standing. I am sure, therefore, that hon. members of the committee would have found serious fault with me if I had accepted the tender of $88,000 under those circumstances. The only reason why this firm has not taken delivery of the Niobe-and it is not a financial one, as I understand- it is that the value of steel and of everything that enters into the make-up of a ship like the Niobe has considerably depreciated, and this firm would now like to get out of their purchase. The Government, however, still have the Niobe. I do not know what other security we could take. The duty is now upon the Government of seeing that this firm carry out their bargain and pay for both the submarines and the Niobe.


John Howard Sinclair: Did
the minister take a cash deposit with the tender?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, $20,000.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Will the $20,000 be
forfeited to the Government if the contract is not carried out by the purchaser? If so, within what time will the money be forfeited?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I do not see any reason at all for letting this firm out. They knew what they were doing when they tendered for the Niobe and the submarines. Wc have $20,000 of their money, and we have the Niobe. The firm is financially good and it is the intention of the Government to see that they pay for the Niobe and the submarines according to the contract price, $135,000.


William Stevens Fielding: Was there a written contract?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes.


William Stevens Fielding: We ought to have it.


Jacques Bureau: As I understand it, the minister thought the first tenders were too low, so he did not consider them. The third time tenders were called, a tender was received for $112,000 cash from a St. John firm and $135,000 cash from the St. John Rolling Mills, including the submarines. The law says that when tenders are called for the highest tenderer should get the contract according to the conditions of the tender. By what authority did the minister vary the conditions of the tender by allowing the New Brunswick Rolling Mills to pay the purchase price in instalments? Also, how were the instal-

merits to be paid and what was to be the rate of interest?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: It is true that this Ottawa firm quoted $88,000 cash; they did not want the submarines. The other tender was $135,000 but the tenderer in this case could not pay cash. I considered it was my plain duty to get the highest price I possibly could, and the arrangement was that this firm was to pay $20,000 cash and the balance at the rate of $10,000 a month.


Jacques Bureau: What was the date of the contract?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am sorry I
have not the contract before me, but it would be in November or December of last year.


Jacques Bureau: Have the submarines been delivered to this firm?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, but the Niobe is still at Halifax.


Georges Parent: When the hon. gentleman says that the Niobe is still at Halifax, does he mean that the Niobe is the property of the Government? The fact of its being at Halifax or elsewhere does not necessarily mean that it belongs to the Government?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Niobe is
being held at the port of Halifax until such time as the New Brunswick Rolling Mills carry out the terms of the contract. We are not going to turn over the boat to them until payments are made according to the contract.


Georges Parent: The minister has said that the case of the New Brunswick firm is in the hands of the Department of Justice. What is the reason for its being in the hands of the Department of Justice?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The reason is this: 810,000 was due from this firm on the first day of January of this year and $10,000 every month afterwards.


Georges Parent: That is, according to the terms of the contract?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, and the payments have not been met. The only payment was the initial one of $20,000. The Department of Naval Service could not get the money out of them so we turned the matter over to the Department of Justice and told them to take the necessary steps to secure payment.


John Howard Sinclair: Have not the New Brunswick Rolling Mills paid for the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The total amount of their tender was $135,000. All that they have paid so far is $20,000.


Mr. McCREA:: Have they delivery of the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, but they have not delivery of the Niobe.


John Howard Sinclair: How
did the minister come to decide to deliver the submarines to the rolling mills without being paid for them? I understand that the $20,000 was a deposit which would be forfeited if they did not go on with the contract; that it was not part of the payment for the submarines. Do I understand the transaction to be that $20,000 was deposited as security along with the tenders; that it was held by the department for that purpose, and that subsequently the department turned over the submarines to this company without being paid anything for them?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The rolling mills deposited a cheque for $13,500 with us at the time they sent in their tender. This could not be considered a deposit cheque in the broad sense. They merely sent in their cheque for that amount to show their good faith.


Georges Parent: Ten per cent on the
contract.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes. We turned
over the submarines to them, and in addition to the $13,500 they made another payment of $7,000.


John Howard Sinclair: Was
that the price of the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No, $16,000 was the price of the submarines. There is no question that the St. John Rolling Mills are trying to get out of their purchase; they are sorry that they put in so high a bid; they regret having bought the Niobe and *the submarines, and they are now trying to get out of their tender.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Have they been sued by the Department of Justice.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: When they defaulted on their payment, I at once sent an official letter to my colleague the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty), enclosing a copy of the contract and asking him to see that the Government got payment or



REVISED EDITION. COMMONS

[Stage Direction]
else to take prompt action against this firm. I am not in a position to say how the matter stands at present.
Georges Parent: Was this done a long time ago?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: In February, if my memory serves me aright.


John Howard Sinclair: I cannot help thinking that the transaction as regards the submarines was unbusinesslike. The submarines, like the Niobe, should have been held until the Government were paid in full for these vessels. The fact is that the company made a deposit for the purpose of showing their good faith, that they would carry out their contract and purchase the boats when the Government delivered the boats to them, so that no part of that money should have been credited to the purchase of the submarines. They should have been paid for in full when delivered.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The company, at
the time the contract was signed, represented to the Naval Service Department that they particularly wanted the submarines before the bad weather set in. They said that they did not want to take delivery of the Niobe until later. From all the information that I had, they were good financially; I still think the St. John Rolling Mills are perfectly good financially, and we let them have the submarines. Our contract is a good contract in every way. There is no possible chance of the company getting out of it: the only way in which they could get out of it would be if they were in a position to implement the contract and pay for the Niobe. As far as I can learn, their financial standing is perfectly good, and we must see that we get our money.


Jacques Bureau: Did the minister, after
getting the New Brunswick Rolling Mills to make this oifer to pay by instalments, summon the other tenderers and ask them if under the same conditions they had to pay, say $10,000 a month, they would not raise their tenders; or did he call for new tenders, stating in the notice that a certain amount of cash would be required and that so much time would be allowed for payment of the balance of the purchase price? I think that would have been a fair way to have handled the matter. If those men offered $135,000 for the submarines and the Niobe, took delivery of the submarines, got what they wanted and then turned their backs on the Government and said: "We will not carry out the balance of our contract," I do not think it is fair to say that

the deposit of 10 per cent should be credited to the payment of the submarines. If the same proposition had been made to the other tenderers, I do not say that that would have made any difference, but it would have been fairer and according to the spirit of the law that the minister should have called the others in and said to them: "Will you raise your tender if you are given time for the balance of the purchase price in addition to your deposit; or, if you deposit $20,000 on account, you can have the submarines, and we will hold the Niobe as security for the balance?" This firm probably wanted steel last fall, and when these two submarines which, I understand the minister to say, cost 'a little over $1,000,000, were delivered, and when this firm got the steel they wanted, as I said just now, they turned their backs on'the Government and said: "Now, look for the balance." They may be good financially; I do not know. I never heard of them before; I do not know the manager, nor the directors, nor who formed the company.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: My hon. friend has been a long time in public life, and ^ he knows that this is the usual practice. When public tenders are called for, as a rule they are called for only once. If I had followed the usual governmental practice, the minute these three tenders, namely, $20,000 $50,000 and $75,000 came * in, ^ I would have accepted the hightest bid, $75,000, and closed the transaction. No hon. gentleman would have offered any criticism in this committee at all if I had read out those bids and said that I had accepted the highest offer. It is an unusual thing to revise bids on three different occasions; but I considered the Niobe was worth a good deal more than the highest bid of $75,000 and, therefore, I worked diligently with those bids. This Ottawa firm, on the second bid, came up to $88,000; on the third bid they came up to $100,500. I do not think it would have made any difference in the price had we called these firms in and said:	"You need
not pay all cash; you may take a little longer time;" I do not think they would have changed their bids at all. If the department has made an error, the error has been made in endeavouring to get as high a price as possible for the Niobe


Alfred Ernest Fripp: Having some knowledge of this matter in the way that I have mentioned, I must say that the minister wai insistent on getting a higher price than was offered by the Ottawa firm and by the

next lower tenderer at the time. He insisted that the price offered, by the Ottawa firm, even of $100,000 cash, was too small. My only criticism of the minister's action is that I think he ought to have acquainted the Ottawa firm and the Garson firm with the fact that they could make their payments by instalments. The offer of the Ottawa firm was a cash offer. They were told that they had to pay 10 per cent down and the balance the moment the contract was awarded to them. That was a specific declaration of policy on the part of the department. Now it seems that when the offers were refused, and properly refused because they were not high enough in the judgment of the minister, this New Brunswick firm was allowed to make a part payment, whereas the Ottawa firm and, no doubt, the Garson firm, if they had been acquainted with the fact that they would be allowed to make part payments and would be given time for the balance, might have tendered higher.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Does my hon.
friend think that his clients would have made a higher offer had we given them time?


Alfred Ernest Fripp: I am inclined to say that they would, because I believe that they were prepared to go higher. It is not every firm in Ottawa that is able to raise $100,000 in ten days. This firm was a responsible firm. In face of the fall in price of the brass, steel and iron in these ships, the New Brunswick firm very properly


Andrew Ross McMaster: Most improperly.


Alfred Ernest Fripp: -endeavoured to get out of the contract because it was going to mean a big loss to them. The tenders in the first instance were called for cash, fen per cent down and the balance on delivery. I must say in justice to the minister that he was most anxious to get the very top price, hoping, no doubt, as he did, that this New Brunswick firm would be able to pay the $135,000. As a matter of fact, they have put up only $20,000, and he is likely to have these ships on his hands again, but one cannot criticise that because the representations made by this New Brunswick firm no doubt were that they were financially able to carry out their contract.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Was any specific time arranged for as to when the balance of the purchase money was to be paid by this firm?
254J


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I have just answered that.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: When was the sale
made?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Towards the latter part of December last.


Mr. GORDON:: Christmas time.


Jacques Bureau: The intention of the
minister may have been very good, but I think the results are very bad. The results are that this firm have these two submarines and all the steel they want, and the minister has the Niobe tied up to the dock. Why? Because steel has depreciated and the value of the Niobe in consequence has gone down.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: What difference does that make, may I ask my hon. friend?


Jacques Bureau: It makes this difference. If you put the Niobe under the hammer to-day you would not get $20,000, and you would have sold these two submarines and the Niobe for less than $40,000.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I would ask my hon. friend a legal question. If a firm like this, which is good financially, buys the Niobe and thft submarines for $135,000 and signs a bona fide contract with the Dominion of Canada, what difference does it make whether steel goes up 50 per cent or goes down that much? The contract is legally binding, and we will see to it that we get just as good a lawyer as my hon. friend to make them pay for what they bought.


Jacques Bureau: That is not a legal
question. This matter is a question of finance cn which my hon. friend ought to know much more than I do. I say that if the New Brunswick Rolling Mills are as good a firm as my hon. friend pretends they are, they ought to be able to raise $135,000 just as well as the clients of the hon. member for Ottawa (Mr. Fripp). His clients were able to put up $100,000 cash. My impression is, without going into this matter, that this firm may have no assets. The stockholders may have great names, but 'they may not be personally liable. If that is the case, and the firm has no assets, my hon. friend will have no security except the Niobe, and if he sells the Niobe for $10,000, he will be out $70,000 compared with what he could have got if the tender of the clients of my hon. friend from Ottawa had been accepted. The firm may be all right; I do not know what their assets are, or who the manager is, but

to the ordinary business man it would look like this: According to the statement of the minister the two submarines cost $1,000,000. Now, if they have depreciated 50 per cent, they would still be worth $500,000, and if they have depreciated even 90 per cent, they would be worth $100,000. To the ordinary business man it would look as if this firm was running away with at least $100,000 worth of property of the Government, and saying that they would not pay the balance due on the contract. I do not know how it looks to my hon. friend, but here is a reputable firm that is going to allow itself to be dragged before the courts to pay the balance of the purchase money. They have these two submarines, the value of which may have depreciated. I do not say they would bring much in the open market as vessels to be used for naval purposes, but still the steel was there.
Mr. I'RIPP: They were purchased for scrap and the steel and scrap have gone down in price


Jacques Bureau: Yes, that is the reason why they do not want to take the Niobe. This firm is willing to be dragged before the courts, and the first impression of the ordinary man, who is not a financier but a poor country lawyer, is that the assets *of this firm cannot amount to much, the personal liability of the stockholders must be covered, and that is the reason why they are going to take the chance of the sheriff coming in.


Mr. CLARK (Red Deer) :: I am a little jealous for the high standing of the First Lord of the Admiralty in the Canadian Government, and I intervene at this; stage in the hope that this debate has already gone far enough in the way of presenting him to the country as a dealer in old iron. I trust without wanting to dictate to my hon. friends, that we may now turn our attention for a while to this vote of $2,500,000 which this minister is asking for the Naval Service off Canada. I could not help wondering as the old-iron discussion was proceeding, how long it fwill be before these three vessels the minister gox last year from the British Government will be sold for old scrap iron in this way. If that is to be the main business of the minister, I should be very apprenhensive if there was any danger of another war coming on, because, after all, the defence of our coast would not be very much pro moted by the minister continually dealing in scrap iron. Can he tell us how these three vessels are getting on? He will

remember that last year I told him in a very friendly way, for he and I are the best of friends, that I thought the Admiralty in Britain had put one over on him in presenting him with i/nese three vessels. I suppose part of this $2,500,000 is to be spent in the upkeep of these vessels. I should like to know where this $2,500,000 is going. That is a lot of money in the present condition of the finances of this country. We had last year a national debt of $2,250,000,000, and so far as the national debt of the country is concerned, we have just added to that $100,000,000, making the national debt $2,350,000,000. Now if part of this ,$2,500,000 could be saved, it would help us a little in the face of this enormous debt that we have to deal with. I should like to know how the dock yards are, and how many naval officers we have in the .Inside Service at Ottawa. We used to get a look at the officers a year or so ago; we knew when we were passing them on the street, because they used to have a uniform, but I believe they are knocking around in mufti now. I do not know whether the minister is rather ashamed of the Naval Service, but if he would put them in long trousers, or wide trousers, with a little decoration, we would know them when we met them. As it is, we cannot count them because we do not know them when we see them. It might save time if my hon. friend would make a little statement as to how these three ships which he got so cheap, are getting on, how the naval college is getting on, how many naval students there are, how many naval officers we have in the Inside Service at Ottawa, and how the dock yards are.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I shall be very glad to give my hon. friend any information I possibly can. I am glad to note that he has missed the blue uniform of the Royal Canadian navy on the streets. The only reason why he happened to see them in that well-known uniform a year or so ago was because the war was then on. During peace time at headquarters they 'are not permitted to wear their uniforms. The ships on the Pacific coast at present are the Aurora, two torpedo destroyers, the Patricia and the Patriot. The cruiser Aurora was built in 1914, is oil burning, and carries a complement of officers and men numbering 318. The two destroyers are oil burners built in 1916 and carry about 90 each of a personnel. The total number of officers and men on these three ships is something like 600. The college at

Esquimalt is still carried on. Forty-five cadets entered for the last term, and while I do not yet know the results, the reputation that the graduates have had ever since the college was established in 1911 has been a most commendable one. The course is excellent and our young Canadian officers have done well in the British navy, in which we have something like 38. We are going to continue the college on the same footing that has been maintained since 1911. The dockyards at Esquimalt have been closed down for nearly a year. There has not been very much work and we therefore closed them and let all the workmen out except the necessary few to look after the stores, and the watchmen to look after the works. The Halifax dockyards are being operated on very much reduced time and our staff there is necessarily a great deal smaller than it has been. The vote we are asking for of $2,500,000 is for the operation and maintenance of the cruisers and two torpedo destroyers, two submarines, the college and the dockyards at Esquimalt and Halifax. This vote of $2,500,000 is no higher than the amount we spent in pre-war times. While before the war we spent $1,700,000, when we come to estimate the increased cost of oil, coal, wages, provisions, etc., I am happy to say that the cost to the country to-day is not one cent more than it was then, and instead of having an inefficient, obsolete and small navy we have a highly efficient fleet which has made a splendid impression at Halifax and at the Pacific coast.


Michael Clark: Would these ships be of any use if war unfortunately broke out now? The Niobe and the Rainbow were not when the last war broke out.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The ships we
have now are of the most modern type. The Aurora is armed with four and six-inch guns and also torpedoes and the destroyers are of the most modern type. We hope they will never be called upon to do anything in the way of active service, but if they are they can certainly take care of themselves.


Michael Clark: The minister
says that a number of the cadets have gone into the Imperial fleet. That would almost look as if, up to now, we have not employed our own trained sailors on our own vessels. Has the minister a hope that in the near future he will be able to absorb the Canadian-trained young men in the Canadian navy, such as it is at the present time?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: As some of my
learned friends would say, that is rather a leading question. It has been the custom of the Canadian Government since the Naval Service Act was passed in 1911 to send a certain number of graduates each year to the Imperial navy for training. They are paid, of course, by the Dominion of Canada. We have 38 there at present, and as vacancies occur we have always this service of trained Canadian officers in the home fleet upon which to draw. Of the 34 officers now on the Aurora and other ships, all are Canadians with the exception of four. The commander of the Patriot is a young officer of Ottawa named Beer and the commander of the Patrician is a Halifax man by the na/ne of Jones. These officers are graduates of the Canadian Naval College who have passed through the British navy and are now on our ships.


Michael Clark: I thank the
minister for his courtesy, and the otherwise full reply he has made; but no doubt because he failed to note one point he has not given me certain information I desire. I asked about the number of naval officers employed in the office in Ottawa, how many saw active service, and how many would be fit for active service in case of war.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I regret I overlooked that point. We have six officers at headquarters, all of whom are either Royal Canadian Naval men or men from the British navy.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: In answer to the member for Red Deer the minister has given in detail the personnel of the crews of various vessels in the Canadian Navy. He has said nothing about the Sheerwater and the Algerine. Are they still in the service of the department? Will the minister also give some reason for the increase in the amount of this Estimate? Last year the amount was $2,000,000; for the current year it is $2,500,000. That is a large increase and I should have thought, in view of the decreased cost of commodities, the estimate would have been for less this year rather +han more.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Sheerwater
and the Algerine were not Canadian, but British ships. We never had to do with them. They were under our jurisdiction acting for the British Admiralty during the war and as soon as the war was over they went back. The member for Renfrew (Mr. Pedlow) says that the vote shows an increase of half a million dollars. My hon. friend will remember that when the

naval discussion took place last year I said that the amount required was $2,500,000, and later in the session, when I brought down the Supplementary Estimates, I said we would reduce that amount to $2,000,000 because we would not be able to get the ships from England until welh on iii the year. On that account we were able to afford to take half a million less; but I made it quite clear that if the ships had been out here all of last year we should want the $2,500,000. I therefore ask for that amount now.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: The minister has stated
that he does not know who compose the New Brunswick Rolling Mills Company. As the Minister of Customs (Mr. Wigmore) comes from that part of the country he might be able to tell us who are the shareholders and directors of the company, and what is their financial standing.


Mr. WIGMORE:: I cannot give that information. I am perfectly satisfied, however, that they are able to carry on and pay whatever balance is due by them.


Mr PARDEE:: What is the basis for
your satisfaction?


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: Well,-they carry on a large business. They are a reputable firm and I am quite satisfied are able to pay their bills.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Has the minister any
idea why they have not paid their monthly instalment?


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: The price of iron has dropped in the meantime. I do not know anything about it further than that.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: I would like to know
what action the Government has taken in the meantime. I understand the sale of the Niobe took place in the month of December last. What action has the Government taken to force this company to pay the balance of the price they agreed to pay?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I cannot add anything more to what I have already stated, that the Naval Department promptly notified the Department of Justice. I will find out to-morrow just what 10 p.m. position the matter is in, and let my hon. friend know, but there is no doubt in my mind that the only . reason why this firm want to get out of their contract is that the price of steel and brass has gone down-


Jacques Bureau: Surely you do not call it a reputable firm?

Mr. BALLANTYNE but that does not let them out of the tender. As my hon. friend from Three Rivers knows, as long as a firm is financially good the Government are perfectly safe. It matters not to us whether the value of steel or brass goes down. Where a firm is financially sound, and our contract is good it is the simplest question of law to know that there is nothing to stop the Government from getting their money.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: I quite realize that but the fact remains that although this firm, or any other firm, might have been financially sound in the month of December last, owing to the changed conditions in the commercial world and the decrease in the price of materials that has taken place since, it might not be quite so sound to-day as it then was. I think the department would have been justified in taking prompt action to force payment. Perhaps the Minister of Justice will be able to tell us what action his department has taken, if any, at the instance of the Department of Marine.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I think a moment's reflection will make my hon. friend realize that it is quite impossible for me to go round with a knowledge of what proceedings have been taken in the numerous cases that have been dealt with by the department. I shall be very happy to obtain the information for the hon. member, but I have not come here this evening in the position to give it to him.


Mr. JACOBS:: If nothing has been done since last December in the matter of trying to force these people to take over this ship, there must be some reason for it. The Minister of Marine is a business man, and I am sure that if a matter of the kind were presented to him in his own personal affairs he would very soon find out the reason why' nothing was done in a period of five or six months.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I do not know
why my hon. friend assumes that nothing has been done. I have stated a good many times, and I now state again, that the Naval Department acted promptly, and I have no reason to think that the Department of Justice did not also act promptly when the information was sent. But my colleague the Minister of Justice has a great many things to look after, and he cannot tell just now how many letters have been sent or the nature of the replies received. I would be very glad to supply my

hon. friend with that information to-morrow.


Samuel William Jacobs: Perhaps I can tell the Minister of Marine what is happening. The question was asked in the House about three weeks ago, and we were then told that efforts of some kind or another were being made to get this company to see the error of its ways and take over the ship. Using a humane method, moral suasion, is just about as far as the department got,
I think.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: My reason for asking the question was, that earlier in the session we had a similar discussion over another matter in connection with this department, the sale of an icebreaker. If my memory serves me rightly at the moment we were told this icebreaker was sold for a certain amount of money, but *on that occasion notes were taken, which notes were endorsed.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: We are on the Naval Estimates now.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: I was explaining that
my reason for asking the question was that we had a similar occurrence before, and in that case the. department took notes which were endorsed.


Jacques Bureau: The statement made by
the Minister of Customs and the Minister of Marine that this company is a firm of high standing is not substantiated by the facts. A firm of high standing will not repudiate a debt because the price of the commodity purchased is going down. As I said just now, it leaves the door open to suspicion, and the suspicion which naturally comes to one's mind is that this firm, the New Brunswick Rolling Mills, depend on the fact that they may have some political pull perhaps to get them out of the hole and they prefer this to the judgment of a court. I want to put things as they are, and I repeat that is the impression that remains in one's mind when we view the transactions from the beginning up to the present time, and when we cannot learn anything about the assets of the New Brunswick Rolling Mills, what they are doing, or anything about them. We are told they are a good firm, that they are an honourable firm, but I say that prima facie the fact of repudiating a debt does not inure to the credit of any firm or any company,, especially when the debt is repudiated after they have bad the best of the transaction- that is getting all the steel they wanted
when steel was high, and refusing to take the balance when the price went down.


Michael Clark: Where is the Stadacona now?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Stadacona
is one of the fishery protection vessels, but is laid up at the present time because she is very costly to run, and the vote I am asking for to-night is not really sufficient to keep all the fishery protection vessels in service. We are laying up two on the Pacific coast and two on the Atlantic coast.


Michael Clark: The Stadacona is resting then?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: She is resting.


Samuel William Jacobs: To revert to this
Niobe transaction, I should like to ascertain from the minister why it was, when this New Brunswick firm failed to take over the boat, they did not offer her for sale again by tender as they did two or three times during the fall of 1920? The minister will remember that a certain client of mine made an offer, I think of $90,000, for that boat and we heard nothing about the fact that the boat was not taken over by the people who were fortunate enough to get her until Parliament met and the question was asked in the House.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I will have to
answer that question by putting a question to my hon. friend: If he owned a private house and that house was bought, and he got $8,000 for it, and another man came along and offered him $15,000-the sale being good and all the papers legally correct -would my hon. friend take the house over?	.


Samuel William Jacobs: I think in the case of a
falling market I would notify the party who had bought the boat that the boat would be sold at his cost and charge, and then sell it to the next highest bidder.


Michael Clark: Before the item goes through I would like to make a remark or two about this business. I have no desire to obstruct the minister's Estimates, but I took the position in the House last year, the minister will remember, that we might very well at the present time hold our hand, and I expressed the fear that the minister had made a mistake in taking these vessels from the British Admiralty at this time. I pointed out to him the gravity of the toboggan slide at the top end of which he had entered, and his Estimate has gone up by a cool half-million this year.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Oh, no.


Michael Clark: I understood
there was a $500,000 increase.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Not a cent.


Michael Clark: I would be
glad to have that explained.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. member for South Renfrew (Mr. Pedlow) asked that question a few moments ago. Last year I informed hon. gentlemen that the amount I desired voted for the Naval Service was two and a half million dollars. Later on in the session I informed the House that we could reduce that amount by half a million dollars, due to the fact that we were not going to get these ships out from England at as early a date as I had hoped we would. But I said then that if the ships had been out during the past fiscal year we would have required $2,500,000, and that we would require $2,500,000 for this year. The vote we are asking for this year is exactly the same as that for last year.


Michael Clark: That statement is quite satisfactory, and I am glad to be advised that there is' no increase. But I cannot help feeling regret that at this particplar time those ships did not stay in England. Then we would not have needed $2,500,000 for a year or two. We do not feel any loss from the Stadacona taking a rest. There is not much difference between the minister and myself on some points, anyhow, because all I say is the Government should have taken a rest in regard to this business for a few years. No sentiment expressed in the House this session has received warmer commendation from all quarters in this country than the sentiment expressed by my hon. friend from Marquette (Mr. Crerar) in his remarks in the debate on the Address that we might very well under the present circumstances of the world take a five years' naval holi-' day in Canada, and a considerable portion of a military holiday too. I know that defence is the first duty of the state, but I have argued on other occasions that when the time for defending the state came Canada was not lacking, she was there. And I am not at all sure that I have not misrepresented the Rainbow to-night, I am not at all sure that she did not do something at the beginning of the war, and if I have misrepresented her along that line I express my regret. But we were there as a nation, and we did wonders, and we did it all the better because we had not been
{Mr. M. Clark.]
spending too much money on military and naval establishments before. I only want to record my opinion that this is a melancholy business, we have gone into. Here is a story tonight of scrap iron-the minister to all intents and purposes so far as the Rainbow and the Niobe are concerned is a dealer in scrap iron. And he has another vessel now taking the rest cure, but I do not think it will ever do her any good, because she is 26 years old, and she cost a great deal more money when she was going than I hope she will cost while she is resting. It is said we should not look a gift horse in the mouth. Well, I would not have looked at the animal at all, and I regret that these vessels were accepted. I repeat, it is a melancholy business in view of the financial position of the country. It is between him and the Minister of Finance, and I hope they will take the matter into their very serious consideration and see if they cannot keep this business well in check. It ought to be easy, as we are all going into the League of Nations. Every member I have no doubt has received notice, as I have, to attend a meeting on Tuesday next to consider Canada entering into the League of Nations. We have come out of a war of unparalleled magnitude in which we suffered terribly along with the other belligerent nations, and we were told all along that that war was to end war, but here we are again with a militant First Lord of the Admiralty with fire in his eye leading us on to this business of armaments. I can only express my regret that what I said to the minister last year has done no good, although he has had twelve months to reflect, and I can only hone that in the next twelve months-if he is so long in office- he will mend his wavs and get some information that will lead him to substantially moderate this business.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: My hon. friend
had his full share in the naval vote of $2,500,000, and all hon^gentlemen opposite also had their full share in it. I find no fault with them whatsoever for that. Canada under the Government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier decided to have a navy of its own. The Naval Service Act was passed in 1911, my hon. friend was a member of the Liberal party at that time, and the Government of the day decided that we would look after our own naval defence.
Let me say again that I found no fault with the policy then, and I find no fault with it now. The Naval Service Act meant this. The Government of the day

said to the Home Government, "Take away your ships and no longer look alter the dockyards at Halifax and Esquimalt. Canada will assume that responsibility." And that responsibility is on this Parliament to carry out the terms of the Naval Service Act, which my hon. friend had his full share in passing in 1911. The Niobe and the Rainbow were brought out from England with the approval of my hon. friend. Now he would have been perfectly satisfied had we continued with those two vessels.	<


Michael Clark: As training
vessels.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The vote would
have been exactly the same as it is now, $2,500,000. We are carrying out the policy of the hon. member for Red Deer and of the Government of that day which he supported, and we are not increasing the expenditure one iota. What has this Government done? We have discharged 783 civilians and naval ratings that we did not need, we have sold those obsolete ships, and we have accepted modern ships as a free gift from the Mother Country. My hon. friend says it is a melancholy vote. Yet if anybody ought to appear in sackcloth and ashes it is my hon. friend from Red Deer. He helped to put the Naval Service Act on the statute book, he gave his consent that Canada was big enough and strong enough to take over the docks at Esquimalt, to support a naval college, and to bring out the Niobe and the Rainbow. The policy followed since the passing of the Naval Service Act must be the policy of Canada until such time as that Act is amended or repealed. My hon. friend took that responsibility; I think he took it rightly; but he cannot get out of it now by attempting to shift the responsibility on to me, although never at any time am I afraid to take my full share of that responsibility. Had we not accepted these ships from the Mother Country we would have had a disgracefully inefficient Naval Service, a service not worth one cent to Canada, and the expenditure would be just the same as we have now for a very efficient navy.


Michael Clark: I am sorry
my hon. friend has made such a combative statement in response to the very peaceful speech on my part. I do not propose to follow his example; I am going to keep to the peaceful frame of mind in which I talked to my hon. friend before. If he has not had enough of war I have, and I will not be tempted into strife by his very
combative mood. - He said the dockyards were taken over by Canada. But when he was on his feet a few minutes ago did he not say that those dockyards were practically closed down and he was getting his repairs done by tender?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No.


Michael Clark: What did
my hon. friend say in his previous utterance about the dockyards?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Under the terms
of the Naval Service Act we have got to keep the dockyards in sufficient working order to repair any British admiralty ships that may require repairs. We have practically closed down the dockyard at Esquimalt, but we are keeping sufficient men there to attend to any needs either of a British naval ship or of one of our own ships. We are keeping the Halifax yard going with a very much reduced staff. In fact, both yards are being continued in a very moderate way.


Michael Clark: I cannot
quite understand how a dock can be "practically closed down" and yet be "in sufficient working order" to do repairs. I am informed, it may be mistakenly, that repairs have been done by tender elsewhere, and that the dockyards are, as the minister says, practically closed down. If you have docks practically closed down, they are not fit to conduct business if language has any meaning. However, I will leave that point and pass on to the other portion of my hon. friend's argument. Now, I quite admit that he is pursuing a policy which was the acknowledged policy of a certain party in the country in 1911. He had had to train the party with which ho is now associating up to the point at which the Liberal party had arrived at that period

if we are to have a naval policy at all it is evident that ten years have sufficed to teach something on this question to the party on the other side. But I did not want to labour that point. I did want to point out to my hon. friend that there is no inconsistency whatsoever in my having supported that policy at that time as the only possible and proper naval policy for Canada and in my saying, after the war, when another war in which we should be involved is to all human thinking considerably remote: Go easy with your naval policy. I am wholly in favour of Canada as a nation undertaking her own defence; there is no inconsistency whatever in that attitude on my part. But the minister is inconsistent in going full

steam ahead after a war just as he would have been going before the war-that is my answer to my hon. friend on that point. However, I do not want to be drawn into a controversy; I have made my protest, and I want to express my very grave fear that, unless he changes his politcal affiliations once more, it will not be the present Minister of Marine who will be dealing in the scrap iron but somebody else if we go on with this business. After all is said and done, Mr'. Chairman, I would rather that the business of the Admiralty was confined to getting presents of vessels, scrapping them and selling them as old iron than that we should be in another war. I do not change my point of view, however, that we might very well have waited in the present circumstances, as I suggested last year, until an Imperial Conference should settle upon proper lines the question as to what each part of the Empire should do for the defence of the Empire.


Andrew Ross McMaster: I think the minister is to be congratulated upon having cut down the ratings for the navy to the extent that he has. But I feel that it was a great mistake to take these ships from Great Britain. It was done while Parliament was not sitting; it was done without consultation with the representatives of the people, and it puts us in the awkward and unpleasant position of appearing to be ungrateful for a free gift. I do think that the minister has placed the representatives of the people in an unfortunate position. Now, the minister has argued that the Liberal policy is responsible for the Laurier naval policy. I admit that most frankly. At that time the world was busy arming for what proved to be, alas, an awful conflict. We were told there was a great European power which was marching on and on and that at some time we would have to meet that power. Unfortunately the prophets of evil spoke truly. War did break out; the navy of that great power is to-day at the bottom of the North Sea, and for the time being, at least, that menace is no more. Under these circumstances would it not be the part of prudence to take a naval holiday? The desires and hopes and prayers of all men of good-will throughout the civilized world are centred upon the League of Nations. We are hopeful that through that body mankind will be able to develop a method of settling international disputes. Is it not, then, the height of folly to go on in the same way in regard to naval matters? Is it not unwise to contribute

$200,000 to the expenses of the League of Nations and then spend ten times that amount on preparing something which, if the League of Nations is a success, will in all probability never be required? The Laurier naval policy was proposed when our national debt was but $350,000,000; today it is $2,350,000,000. The minister therefore would confer a great benefit on the country if he would turn the prows of these three ships eastward and allow the Canadian people to see the smoke ascending from their funnels as they made their way home to the land beyond the seas. We cannot afford this expenditure at this time. We should not spend one cent except for absolute necessities and this is not an absolute necessity. I can hardly trust that the minister will change his view, but I would like to register my emphatic protest against this expenditure.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: 
Andrew Ross McMaster: He is at sea on it.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Yes. We are here tonight knowing nothing more than the man in the moon about the sale of the Niobe and the submarines except that $135,000 was the price. We know that there is a default. We do not know how great the debt is. We do not know how the debtor stands financially. It looks, as my hon. friend (Mr. Bureau) has said, as if the Dominion had been stuck for a very large sum' in this matter. We shall be told:
K We have the Niobe yet." That is true; but prices have fallen and we could not get for her now what we could have got before, and as a consequence the country is the loser.


Ernest Lapointe: The minister gave
the committee a piece of history which was somewhat incomplete. I would not like to supplement it in any way except to point out one feature in connection with it. When the naval law was adopted in 1910, the hon. member for King's (Sir Robert Borden) who afterwards became Prime Minister of Canada, the present Prime Minister (Mr. Meighen) and all the other hon. gentlemen with whom my hon. friend is now associated, voted against that law and in favour of an amendment offered by the late Mr. Monk, that no naval policy should be adopted by Canada without being first approved by the Canadian
people. This issue was fought during the campaign of 1911. As a matter of fact in my province, it was the only issue discussed on the platforms. Twenty-six members were elected in the province of Quebec against that law and after the elections, when those people got together, after having accomplished what they had in view, they pledged themselves in Parliament that no permanent naval policy should be entered into by this country without being first approved by the Canadian people. The Prime Minister of that day took that pledge; the then Minister of Marine and Fisheries, the Hon. Mr. Hazen, stated it emphatically on the floor of the House of Commons, and I ask my hon. friends when the Canadian people have since then approved the present policy of the Government as regards the navy. As the hon member for Brome (Mr. Mc-Master) stated, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries and the Government accepted those ships as part of their permanent policy, without asking the approval, not only of the Canadian people, but of the Canadian Parliament. This was done by Order in Council, of course, under the general practice of this Government at that time. Parliament was not consulted, and when my hon. friend came to Parliament with a proposed appropriation, we were faced by an accomplished fact. The ships had, been accepted, and we had to vote the money although we opposed the vote at that time. I was opposed to that vote being accepted; I am still opposed to it, for many reasons, one of them being, that there is no settled naval policy at the present time for the British Dominions. There is going to be an Imperial Conference next year. There is going to be a meeting of Prime Ministers this year. The name has been changed for the conference that takes place in July, and conditions are such that our Prime Minister stated the other day, or at least intimated in some way, that he would be opposed to the consideration of any naval policy at that conference next summer. Why should we not wait until the status of the Dominions is fixed, as we are told it is going to be at this Imperial Conference next year, before accepting, or adopting, any policy as regards naval defence? Conditions are altogether changed as the hon. member for Brome stated. In 1910, the country was prosperous; we had money; we had no deficits, we were not paying the rate of interest that we are paying now on our loans. We had not two billion dollars of

net debt as we have at the present time. Conditions are altogether changed, and as the hon. member for Brome and the hon. member for Red Deer (Mr. Clark) stated, we are paying an annual contribution to the League of Nations. We are members of that league. The last war was fought for the purpose of ending all wars. We should at least follow the example of those nations which are decreasing their armaments instead of increasing ours or entering into any new scheme. Last year there was in the Estimates a vote of $300,000 for the maintenance of the Canadian navy. That was the usual vote as in preceding years.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No.


Ernest Lapointe: There were two votes yast year: Naval Service, to provide for the maintenance of the Royal Canadian Navy, $300,000, and then in the Supplementary Estimates, there was the other vote: Further amount required, $5,700,000.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. member will recall that I explained, when I asked for the $300,000 appropriation, that that was only part of the naval expenditure and that in the Supplementary Estimates I would bring down a further amount, so that he has to consider both of them together.


Ernest Lapointe: Yes, but this $300,000 vote was practically the same as the vote of preceding years during the war.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No.


Ernest Lapointe: What was the vote in 1919?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I have the
amounts for all the years here. Before this is turned up, I might say that the expenditure was $1,700,000 in 1910-11. Then when we got into the war, of course, the expenditure ran away up, and it would not be a fair comparison at all.


Ernest Lapointe: The minister cannot tell me what the expenditure was in 1919.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I will tell my hon. friend just as soon as my deputy arrives. He has gone upstairs for a moment.


George Gordon: Perhaps the deputy
would ascertain the names of this rolling mill firm while he is up stairs, and the minister could give us the information to-night, and also any information he has as to the firm's solvency.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I think my hon. friend will have to take the word of the [Mr. I.apointe.l
Government. I have had a very long experience in business, and I am sure my hon. friend has also had a very considerable business experience. He knows that before an ordinary business concern give credit, they look up the reports of one of the mercantile agencies, either Dun's or Bradstreet's, and if the reports of these 'agencies show that the firm's credit is good, business men do not ask the firm what their assets and liabilities are. They largely go by what their salesmen say, and also by the financial reports from these agencies. I took all these precautions at the time, but in these days, of course, when business is declining rapidly, a firm that may have been good a year ago may not be good now. From all I can learn, however, the firm is good. My hon. friend will have to take my word for it that at the time we made all necessary inquiries as to the firm's standing, and I was satisfied that they were good. The Government have to take financial risks, of course, just the same as any other concern.


George Gordon: Dun's and Bradstreet's reports show in detail what the concern is, what its products are, what its bonded indebtedness is, and all the details that we would like to have to-night; so, if this information is available on file, I do not think it would be a difficult matter for the minister to give it to the committee tonight, instead of saying that he got the information but does not remember now what it was.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Oh yes, I do.


George Gordon: Except that the firm was good. Well, it turns out that they are not good. If they were good, they would not be willing to have their reputation risked by being sued by the Government of Canada for this liability. They could not possibly stand that if they were good, because it would wreck the reputation of any solvent concern. If they were good they would not dare to assume the risk of having their credit ruined by refusing to pay a debt which the minister says is now due and owing.
In addition to that, as was pointed out by another hon. member, as soon as the responsibility was shifted from the Naval Department to the Justice Department, no further inquiries were made by the Naval Department to ascertain what was being done or whether the Justice Department had left the matter in the hands of some other official who was also taking a rest cure. This liability has been left standing for months, nothing has been

done, and we are not able to ascertain now whether this concern is solvent or not. Only the hope is expressed that they will pay the debt, and we are told that the Justice Department has been applying moral suasion in different doses for the last few months.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I can now give my hon. friend from Quebec East (Mr. Lapointe) the information he asked for. The naval expenditure for the year 19101911 was $1,719,017; 1911-1912, $1,233,456; 1912-1913, $1,085,660. Then we got into the war years, and the expenditures were very large. If my hon. friend wants the figures for those years, I can give them.


Ernest Lapointe: No.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: There were small expenditures running up to about $300,000 or $400,000 for the upkeep of the Naval College and thing of that kind, but millions were spent which were charged to the War Appropriation.


Mr. EULER:: I would judge that in the ordinary course of business, when this firm failed to make their payments as they fell due, the department would get into correspondence with them, and at least make some inquiry as to why they did not pay. Has the department done that, and if so, what answer did this firm make? Did they question the validity of the contract in any way?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Immediately they failed to make their first payment under the contract, my department wrote them, and followed the matter up for a considerable time. We did not get any satisfactory answer from the New Brunswick Rolling Mills at all; so, after following the matter up for a reasonable time, we turned it over to the Justice Department, and told them to take proceedings against the firm.


William Daum Euler: My hon. friend says that he did not receive any satisfactory answer. I presume that he received some sort of answer. What answer did they make?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I cannot recall the exact phraseology now, but they were trying to get out of the contract owing to the market price of steel and brass having gone down very considerably.


William Daum Euler: Is that the only reason they advance?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That is all.


Samuel William Jacobs: They did not advance
that as a reason, did they?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: They were trying to get out of the contract. They were trying to work the Naval Department to see if we were easy and would let them out of the contract, which we certainly will not do.


Mr. McKENZIE:: What was the nature of the instructions which the minister gave to the Justice Department? Were the instructions to sue for an instalment or for the whole amount? Was there any provision in the contract that the full amount would fall due if default was made on one instalment?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I have no knowledge of law, but I should think that the only proceedings which the Justice Department could take against the firm would be to insist upon payments as they became due under the contract.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: It is a very common provision in a contract of this kind, that if default is made in payment of one instalment the whole amount becomes due at once. I simply want to know if the minister had that provision in this contract?


William Daum Euler: I would suggest to the minister, if it can readily be done, that this correspondence with the firm be placed before the committee.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I have no objection at all.


Samuel William Jacobs: Why did not the department insist that cash should be paid for this boat, instead of selling it on the instalment plan.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I know my hon.
friend did the best he could for his friends, and it may turn out that it would have been better had the department accepted the next lowest bid for cash, but as there was such a difference in the tenders I made the best deal that I could with this concern, after satisfying myself that they were financially good. I do not think I would have been justified in turning their bid down and accepting another bid some ,125,000 lower.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I asked the minister a question, but he did not answer me. I want to know what instructions he gave to the Department of Justice. Were the instructions to sue for $10,000 or for the whole amount? Has the minister received any report from the Justice Department on the contract?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I merely sent the tender to the Justice Department and ad-

vised them of the steps we had taken, quite unsuccessfully, to get the firm to meet their payments. A layman like myself would not presume to suggest to my colleague what legal steps he should take.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I must remind the
minister that twenty minutes ago he told us in the most positive way, in a way that no lawyer would dare to do, that the contract was absolutely good, perfectly sound, and enforceable in every particular. Now, when it suits him to say that he does not know anything about law, he tells us that he does not know whether the contract is good or not. The minister ought to be able to tell us what the terms of the contract were. I do not think that fhe tender was ever handed over to the Justice Department. The minister would naturally hand over what was finally consummated in the shape of a contract and which I presume is in writing. The preliminary communings that took place before the final contract do not cut any ice; the contract must speak for itself. The minister must surely have contemplated some discussion of this kind to-night and should have had the contract here. It would not take long for him to get it and we should like to see it. We want to know whose names are on it. It has been suggested to-night that some favoritism has been shown in this matter. Three or four persons tendered and all except one said that they would pay cash in full. This concern is not paying cash and some inside arrangements seem to have been made to favour them. They fell down on their contract altogether and yet are given five or six months' leeway without anything being done. That looks like favouritism. At all events it is what the minister would do for his best friend if he could do anything at all for him. He would say to his very best friend, political or otherwise: "I will turn down the cash tenders of the other people and take advantage of the fact that yours is a little larger, and I will give you the best terms possible and deliver the property to you. If you do fail in your payments I will give you all the time you want and go through the camouflage of handing the matter over to the Justice Department. But you need not be afraid of this; nothing will be done.'" That is what the minister would do for me if I were his very best friend. It remains for him to show that no favouritism characterized this transaction, but that on the contrary, it was a hard and fast business deal. He can make this point clear by

producing the contract and showing that everything has been open andi above board and done in good business shape. And he should do that before the item passes. We ought to have the contract, because this is something that the minister might very well have anticipated.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. member will certainly see the contract to-morrow. I do not find any fault with him for imagining anything he likes. The transaction was a perfectly sound and legitimate business transaction and was perfectly above board. If I had accepted the lowest cash bid of $88,000 and someone had asked the hon. member to inquire of me why I had not accepted the offer of the St. John Rolling Mills at $135,000 even if the terms were longer, I could understand that the hon. member might possibly have something to say. But the whole criticism to-night is directed at the department because we did not take the lower tender, for the reason that it was cash, notwithstanding that it was $30,000 less. Possibly it might have been better had we taken it, although I do not hold that opinion. But everything was done in a proper way and I shall have no hesitation in bringing down all the correspondence, laying all the tenders on the Table, and producing a copy of the contract or the original itself. The Department of Justice was furnished with the contract which we entered into, and I have absolutely nothing to hold back.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Personally I do not propose to hold any post mortem upon this item. If we are to have any evidence on the matter at all we should have it before we pass the item. The minister cannot claim any credit for getting $135,000 instead of $112,000, unless he can show us that he is dealing with reliable people. To put up a straw company, such as this ap pears to be, which is not able to meet its responsibilities, which squeals because the nrice of steel has gone down, and which refuses to pay, is something for which the 'unister cannot take credit. There is no credit at all to him in the fact that he turned down a cash offer of $112,000 and accepted a vague promise of $135,000.


Samuel William Jacobs: The minister had an offer of $112,000 from A. Garson & Company of St. John for the Niobe alone, and he threw in two torpedo boats, the CC-1 and the CC-2 and got $135,000.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I did not throw
them in at all.


Samuel William Jacobs: They were thrown in.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No, they were not. Let us be perfectly fair to one another;
I am fair to hon. members and they must be fair to me. I gave all the tenders that my department received for the submarines and I also gave all the tenders that we received for the Niobe. The highest third bid for the Niobe was $112,000, but we actually sold her for $119,000, apart from the submarines altogether. As regards the submarines we received from the St. John Rolling Mills Company the highest price offered by any firm. There is no case of throwing in the submarines at all. It was a straight case of calling for public tenders and giving the contract to the highest bidder. I know very well that these firms that tendered and did not get the contract were sorry; whether or not they are sorry now I do not know. Possibly they are behind all this questioning at the present time. What position should I be in as Minister of Naval-Service if after calling for tenders three times I repudiated the highest tender and gave the contract to another? I should not like to appear before the members of the committee under such circumstances.


Samuel William Jacobs: The offer of $112,000
from Garson & Company was a cash offer, while the offer from the New Brunswick Rolling Mills of $119,000 was credit. That is the distinction.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: My hon. friend is
getting on to ground that he is not familiar with. It is hardly fair for me to express any adverse opinions regarding any firms that tendered, but it might interest my hon. friend to know that, as regards the firm that tendered $112,000, their cheque was returned to us as being no good.


Ernest Lapointe: The minister says
that this is a good company. He tells us that there is no doubt about its being solvent, and he is proud of the business deal he has put through. If that is so, surely the Minister of Customs can give us the names of the president and the general manager of the company. St. John is not so large a city. I know that if it were a Quebec company, and if the firm were a reliable one, as the minister says this is, I could give the names of the president and general manager. There is something queer about the whole matter. Surely my hon. friend can give us these names; and we are entitled to see the contract.


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: I have not been in
St. John since Christmas. I know that at
that time this firm were doing a good business. They were working day and night running a rolling mill formerly owned by the St. John Rolling Mill Company. The firm in question took over the St. John Rolling Mill and called it the New Brunswick Rolling Mill and since that time they have been rolling iron there. I know nothing about the business since January, but I can say that they were doing a good business at that time and that they are perfectly able to carry on and pay any indebtedness that they owe. Personally I think this contract is a good one from the Government's standpoint. If I understand the figures correctly, this company agreed to pay $135,000 for the Niobe and the two submarines.


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: But they did not pay it.


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: The highest price received for the submarines was $6,000 each, making $12,000 in all. Take that from .the $135,000. The minister tells me that the amount for the Niobe was $119,000. Now, the manager of the firm is H. J. Garson and the secretary is a man named S. S. Elliot. Both are respectable citizens and good business men of the city of St. John, and I believe they are carrying on a satisfactory business.


Samuel William Jacobs: Might I point out to the minister that this very Garson is the man whose cheque was returned?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Not the same.


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: He is another Garson altogether.


Samuel William Jacobs: A Garson of another
colour.


William Daum Euler: I do not desire to question the frankness of the statement by the minister in any way, but it does seem to- me almost incredible that a firm that is presumably composed of reputable business men would attempt to escape a straight unqualified obligation.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No, it is very
common.


William Daum Euler: It is common?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Common in business.


William Daum Euler: I am sorry that has been the business experience of the minister. I should say that reputable men
11 p.m. do not do that sort of thing. But what I was leading up to is this: There is just the suspicion of a feeling in my mind that the tender made by

that firm had in it some sort of qualifying clause, and it is on the strength of that possibly they are refusing to pay.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I can certainly
say most positively to my hon. friend that there is no qualifying clause in it at all, and from over thirty years experience' in business I can say that n'ot all firms by any means but very often very good reliable firms, when the market goes against them, do try to get out of contracts. It has happened to me many a time.


Louis Édouard Fernand Rinfret: Do they merely default in payment, or do they allege any reason for not making payment?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Default only.


Samuel William Jacobs: Have they taken delivery of the submarines?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes.


Frank S. Cahill: I understood the minister to say that he had an oifer of $100,500 from an Ottawa firm, and an offer of $112,000 from another firm and that those offers were on a cash basis?	'


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes.


Frank S. Cahill: I would like to ask the minister if he offered to sell the Niobe to those two firms on the terms basis which he made with the St. John company?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The firm that
quoted $112,000 were not financially good, as I have already stated. The Ottawa firm that made the offer of $100,500 were good as far as I could tell at the time but the difference of $19,000 between that offer and the one accepted was so great that I did not think any good purpose would be served by going to them, after I had asked them to bid on three different occasions, and saying "Will you bid a fourth time provided I do not ask you to pay cash?"


Frank S. Cahill: How did the minister
arrive at the conclusion that it was good business to go to some other person with an offer after he had made three attempts to sell for cash? He had attempted to sell for cash but could not get a satisfactory price and he then accepted an offer on terms.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The only mistake I made, was calling for tenders three times.
I should only have called for tenders once.
I should have accepted the price of $75,000 and we never would have heard a word about it. The mistake I made, in my earnestness, was trying to get too much
	.
money for these ships. If I call for tenders again, after the experience I am having here to-night, I will award the contract to the highest bidder; I will try no more dickering.


Frank S. Cahill: That is one good reason why my hon. friend should not be in the position he is in, if he is going to get peeved because he is criticized for making a bad bargain and say that in future he is going to take anything he can get from the first bidder. If that is my hon. friend's intention he is in the wrong place when he is in a public office in this country; and it would certainly be in the public interest if he were to desist from making any more contracts for Canada.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: He will keep on.


Frank S. Cahill: He should attend to his,
private business and the country can get along very well without him if that is the attitude he is going to adopt. The minister called for tenders three times and in each case a greater amount was offered than in the case of the previous tenders. Why did he not call for tenders a fourth time when, perhaps, even more money would have been offered? But when he desisted from doing that and started to deal privately with this firm, why did he not deal privately with the other people who had tendered on a different basis? He says the man who offered him $112,000 was no good. Well, we have had evidence to-night that the company whose offer was accepted is not very good. Had the minister accepted the tender of $100,500 he would have been much better off. I cannot understand why he did not ask that firm for a better price provided he gave them time.


Andrew Ross McMaster: The minister fails
altogether to appreciate whatever criticism has been directed against him from this side if he imagines that we find fault with him for trying to get the best possible price. He is to be congratulated upon the fact that he endeavoured to get the best possible price. As I see it the only grounds for criticism are these: First, that having asked for cash prices he made a contract with one of the tenderers for a price which was partly in cash and partly on time without giving the other tenderers the same opportunity. That, it seems to me, may have operated unfairly. I do not say it did operate unfairly, but there was a possibility of unfairness there. The second ground for criticism is that having turned this collection over to the Department of Jus-

tice, he has not followed it up as I think a business man should have followed up the collection of such a very substantial amount.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: What makes my
hon. friend think I did not follow it up?


Andrew Ross McMaster: Because had the minister followed it up he would have told us that he had done so, that he had asked the Minister of Justice, or the Department of Justice to give him information, and he would have had some information to give to the committee. Now, we are almost in the month of June. I understand that the payment in regard to this contract was to be so much in cash and then instalments of $10,000 a month, beginning with January 1. Well, there are the instalments for January, February, March, April and May 

five instalments of $10,000 each, or $50,000 in all-now overdue. No doubt the minister has a great deal to do, but it does seem to me a fair ground for respectful criticism that he is not in the position to tell us: "The fault does not lie with me. I have month by month inquired from the Department of Justice to whom I turned over the collection of this amount, and they tell me they have done such and such a thing." He ought to be able to tell us that a writ has been issued or the reason why a writ has not been issued.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I think my hon.
friend is quite fair in that. I have repeatedly, through my deputy, asked how the matter stood with the Department of Justice. The department replied that they had the matter in hand, and they were corresponding with the firm, and so on. No later than this morning when my deputy was in my office I told him again to go personally and see the Justice Department, and find out if a writ had actually been served against the company. I did not forget the matter at all. We have been doing the very best that we could, and I am quite sure that my colleague the Minister of Justice is exercising his usual good judgment. You do not sue a responsible party right off. As a rule I understand that lawyers and the Justice Department first write to try and obtain a settlement, and if they fail they issue a writ.


Andrew Ross McMaster: 
Arthur Bliss Copp: I regret exceedingly, Sir, that the reputation of a firm in the city of St. John, apparently of very high standing in the opinion of the Minister of Marine as well as of the Minister of Customs, has been brought into question in this discussion, and it does seem to me that we should get some information in defence of this company. I do not happen to know the directorate of the St. John Rolling Mills Limited, but my hon. friend the Minister of Customs, who has been a resident of that city for many years, and is more or less intimately acquainted with local conditions, must, I am sure, have very good knowledge of the personnel of this company. I have no doubt that in the very strong efforts made by my hon. friend the Minister of Marine to collect this money he must have conferred not only with the Minister of Customs, but also with the Minister of Public Works in regard to this company, and those hon. gentlemen, who represent the Maritime Provinces in the Cabinet, no doubt, have general, if not in detail, information which would be of very great interest to this committee and would be of value to . the business reputation of the company in question; and, if I may be permitted to say so to my hon. friend the Minister of Customs, I think it is due to that company that he should give the committee such information in regard to it. If the company is composed of men of strong financial standing and acknowledged business integrity there can be no reason why my hon. friend should not disclose its personnel to this committee, as if they are men of that type the delay in payment would not amount to very much. But inasmuch as they have been in default since the first of January, 1921, the transaction naturally arouses suspicion in the minds of hon. gentlemen, particularly of those on this side of the House. So far as I know in a general way, the St. John Rolling Mills Company is a reputable business concern, and I would be very sorry to see it questioned without some very good



[Stage Direction]
reason. The minister says he has a hard and fast contract with the firm, and it does seem to me there must be good grounds why they are not living up to the terms of that contract. He says that that contract was entered into openly and above-board. If that is so, I appeal to my hon. friend the Minister of Customs to inform the committee if he knows of any reason why this company is defaulting on that contract. I have no brief for the St. John Rolling Mills Company, but I do say that when the business methods of this or any other company are questioned in this House, and they have any defence to make, it should be given to the committee.
Some hon. MEMBERS:: Carried.


Ernest Lapointe: There is perhaps a circumstance which makes it most imperative for both my hon. friends the Minister of Marine and the Minister of Customs to give this committee the fullest information possible concerning those tenders and the contract which was subsequently awarded^ There was an election in the city of St. John in September, 1920, and it is certainly a coincidence-at least some people may think it is a coincidence -that the contract was granted in such a peculiar way, that only part of the amount of the tender was accepted by the department; and that subsequently the company failed to meet the five instalments of the balance as they became due. I think under the circumstances my hon. friend's should give all the information they possibly can and put the matter fairly before the committee and before the country.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Carried.


Louis Édouard Fernand Rinfret: I have a few remarks to make on this item, but I do not think it would be fair to mix the two questions as we have already mixed them somewhat to-night. There is, first, this contract for the sale of the Niobe and the submarines; and, second, the vote for the naval service proper. These two questions have been interwoven in such a way that confusion has resulted. I think we should clear up the sale of the Niobe first, but I ask that this item be not carried before we have a chance to express our views on it.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: My hon. friend is quite right, the vote before the committee is for $2,500,000 for the naval service. While the sale of the Niobe has something to do with naval affairs, it has absolutely
[Mr. Copp.l
nothing to do with this vote. I am asking the committee to give their approval to the vote of $2,500,000, into which the Niobe does not enter at all. I will lay on the Table to-morrow all tenders and all the correspondence that we have had with this concern, and also a copy of the contract. I submit to hon. members that the sale of the Niobe has nothing whatever to do with this vote of $2,500,000.


Louis Édouard Fernand Rinfret: The minister did not understand me rightly. He is asking for $2,500,000 for ships which have been accepted to replace the Niobe and we are perfectly in order in discussing the Niobe first.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: If my hon. friend will allow me, I am not asking for $2,500,000 to purchase ships. I am asking for that amount to carry on the naval service of Canada, to maintain our docks at Halifax and Esquimalt, to maintain the naval college, and for the upkeep of our ships. It is quite in order to ask questions about the naval force when the vote is before the House, but the Niobe has nothing to do with this vote.


Louis Édouard Fernand Rinfret: It is perfectly proper that we should deal with the Niobe transaction because this item covers the whole of the expenses of the department. The Chairman was asking whether the item should carry and I simply wanted to point out that I was refraining from offering any remarks on the naval service at this stage because I thought we might first clear up the Niobe deal.


John Allister Currie: Mr. Chairman, I submit that nothing in connection with the sale of the Niobe is involved in this item, and I would like a ruling whether the discussion with regard to the Niobe is in order.


Jacques Bureau: With regard to the point of order, I submit that we are asked to vote an amount of $2,500,000 to provide for the maintenance of the Royal Canadian Navy, and that under it we are entitled to put all sorts of questions relating to the naval service. The Niobe is one of the ships that has been replaced by the new ships and we are entitled to know what has been done with the old ones, under what conditions they have been disposed of, and all details with regard to their sale. The sale of these ships involves an asset of the department, and that is connected with administration; therefore we are entitled to all information concerning them. Moreover, the question with regard to the Niobe was raised not by us, but by an hon.

gentleman on the other side, and very properly so; he deserves credit for bringing the matter to the attention of the committee. My contention is that if we are not satisfied with the administration of the naval service we are entitled to criticise this amount, and we would be justified in asking for a reduction of the vote if we thought the affairs of the department had not been properly conducted. I think the amount of the vote, $2,500,000 is quite sufficient to justify an inquiry on the part of members of! the committee into the whole administration of this service.


Samuel William Jacobs: I would also point out that if this $100,000 had been received the minister would be asking now for a vote of $2,400,000 instead of $2,500,000.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Oh, no.


Joseph Archambault: I concur in the remarks of the hon. member for Three Rivers and the hon. member for George Etienne Cartier. Surely this House has the right to discuss a deal involving the sale of the Niobe to this firm. One very strong reason why we should be enabled to discuss it now is the fact that there is no other item in the Estimates under which the discussion could take place.


Michael Clark: Speaking to the point of order, I submit that it surely is elementary that if a minister had so ill-managed the affairs of the Naval Department and that fact were clearly brought to light, it would have an important bearing on the intelligence of hon. members on this side as to how far they should vote any more money to be spent by a minister who is making these bad sales.


Georges Henri Boivin: The point of order
has been raised by the hon. member for North Simcoe (Mr. Currie) that the discussion of the sale of the cruiser Niobe is not in order on item 197, to provide for the maintenance of the Royal Canadian Navy, $2,500,000. During the time that I have occupied the Chair I have always endeavoured to keep the discussion strictly relevant to the item under consideration. I have, however, always observed the rule that all matters pertaining to all departments should be discussed in Committee of Supply if hon. members so desired, but that a discussion was out of order when there was in the Estimates another item upon which that discussion could with more relevancy and more propriety take place. I have looked over the Estimates and I find there is no item under which the sale
of the cruiser Niobe could be discussed so relevantly and so properly as under the present item. This is the only item in the Estimates concerning the administration and maintenance of the Royal Canadian Navy. The sale of a battleship belonging to the Dominion Government is certainly a matter which can be inquired into by this Committee, and I therefore rule that the discussion is in order.


Arthur Bliss Copp: I am not quite satisfied
that the Minister of Customs really wants to do such injustice to his friends as not to give this information to the Committee. From what has been said by the Minister of Marine, if this company is in such good financial standing as we hope it is and as I am bound to say I always understood it to be, it should meet its obligation under the contract. The Minister of Customs says in a general way that they are a firm of good financial standing in the community, and if that is so I cannot understand why they have defaulted in their payments. The Minister of Marine has made a very strong insinuation with regard to the business integrity of that firm, because he says that the only reason for their trying to get out of their contract is that the iron and brass and other materials in these vessels have fallen in price. Now, that is a statement made in this House, Mr. Chairman, and to my mind it affects very seriously the standing of that company. As I said a moment ago, I hold no brief for the company, but I do say that the minister should place before the committee any information he has in regard to the matter so that we may know just	how	to deal	with it.
If the company is strong and responsible financially, there is no reason that I can see why they should default upon their payments. They have defaulted now for five months and practically into six months. That is $60,000 that they are in default or will be in a few days under this contract. As I say, I have some pride in my province, and I regret exceedingly that the integrity, honesty and fair dealing of this company is brought into question by the very fact of the silence that has been practised by the Minister of Customs and Inland Revenue (Mr. Wig-more), who, I am sure, as a business man and having done business in the city of St. John for many years, must have the information as regards this company. I again appeal to him, in defence of the honour of the corporation of the city that he represents and the province that we
4U3U

both represent, that he give to the committee that reasonable information upon which we can base an opinion in regard to this matter and see if we cannot shorten this debate and get along with the business as well as have the reputation of this corporation cleared up before this committee by my hon. friend.


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: I do not see what
more I can say than I have said. I have stated before that, in my opinion, this company is thoroughly reliable. I know that the president or manager of this concern owns a good deal of property in St. John city.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Will my hon. friend give his name?


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: I gave the name before-H. J. Garson. I do not know what more information I can give. In my opinion this firm is absolutely solvent, and I do not know anything different from that. I have never gone into the bank to inquire into their financial condition, but I know that the president of this company owns a good deal of property in St. John city.


Joseph Archambault: In his own name or in the name of the company?


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: In his own name, and t know that the property which they own there, the New Brunswick Rolling Mills is a very valuable property. So far as I know, they own it. I have never made inquiry to find out whether there is anything against it or not. I am absolutely fair to the House when I make that statement..


Frederick Forsyth Pardee: Are the New Brunswick Rolling Mills still in operation?


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: So far as I know they are still in operation. The last time I was in St. John was at the New Year. I know that things are quiet all over. I do not know the condition of the New Brunswick Rolling Mills at the present time, but I know they have been carrying on a very successful business during the past two or three years.


Arthur Bliss Copp: Has my hon. friend, being interested as a citizen of St. John and a member of the Government in getting this matter cleared up, had any communications, correspondence or personal interviews with this firm, during the course of this trouble that has been going on for five months, to see what reason there is for this company delaying payment?
FMr. Copp.]


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: I do not know of any reason why the company is delaying payment. Only, as I said before-the hon. gentleman was not in the House, I think, when I made the statement before-


Arthur Bliss Copp: I apologize then.


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: The only reason I
could give is the same reason why many other firms are trying to cancel their contracts not only in this business but in every other business, namely, because prices have dropped materially. I do not know of any other reason why they should not carry out their contract.


Jacques Bureau: Does the minister base his opinion as to the solvency and reliability of this company upon the fact that the president owns in his own name in the city of St. John a good deal of valuable property? -


Rupert Wilson Wigmore: I said besides that that the property that they have there in the situation in which it is, is very valuable at the present time even with the reduced value of real estate to-day. The property is on the line of the Canadian Pacific, and it is in a very valuable position in St. John as an industrial site off any kind.
Mr. DuTREMBLAY: Will the minister off Marine and Fisheries let us have the information that the department. obtained from the mercantile marine agency before they made the contract with this company?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am glad to tell my hon. friend that all the information which I could gather at the time was perfectly favourable in regard to the financial condition of the company. I have not said to-night, and I do not say now that this company is not financially good. Hon. gentlemen opposite are hinting and almost saying that the company is bankrupt; I have not said so.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: One of the strongest
evidences of bankruptcy is failure to pay your bill. Any person who refuses to pay his honest debt cannot complain if somebody says that he is insolvent. The company must not be very sensitive on that point. Has the minister the Order in Council which was passed closing this transaction with this company? That might give us some information as to what took place in the transaction. I have never been a minister, and the strong possibilities are that I never shall be; but I understand that a minister putting through a contract reports to council the facts of

the case, and that an Order in Council is passed accepting the contract. Perhaps the minister could give us a copy of the report that he made to council on this transaction and the order that was passed at the time. That would be a very valuable record if the minister has it.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I will place on the table every tender that we got, the first, the second and the third time, all the correspondence that has taken place, a copy of the contract, a copy of the Order in Council. I shall be only too happy to do that. There is absolutely nothing Wrong with this transaction. And having promised to do that, and as we are all trying to prorogue at as early a date as possible, I hope hon. members will agree with me that, after spending two hours and 35 minutes on this and saying practically nothing at all about the vote of $2,500,000, perhaps we have spent a sufficient time on it. I will put all the information on the table to-morrow. I will do more than that; I will hold one of the items here, because after all, they are all Naval Service items. Therefore, hon. members will have every opportunity again after they have seen a copy of the contract, the Order in Council and the correspondence, to make any further remarks that they desire to make.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: The minister should allow this item to stand until he has the information, and then he will get through very quickly. He has been struggling with this thing for six months trying to make some advance in it; he has failed absolutely to get a dollar in six months, so that he must not complain of the little delay from now until to-morrow to get this information. He will get on very much better by saying that he will take up something else and let this item stand until this information is put in the possession of the committee.


Joseph Archambault: The Chairman has decided that this is the only item on which this discussion can properly take place. '


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No.


Joseph Archambault: That was the reason why he decided that it was in order on this item.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am not questioning the ruling of the Chair for a moment, but I should like to draw the Chairman's attention to the fact that all these items, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, and 294 are Naval Service votes. Hon. members
have full right to ask any questions they like about the Niobe, Rainbow or anything else in regard to the Naval Service on any of these items, because they are all Naval Service items, as the appropriation shows.


Joseph Archambault: I am sorry to differ from my hon. friend. The other items are not Naval Service.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, they are.
Mr.	ARCHAMBAULT:	Item	198	is
hydrographic survey.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That is Naval
Service.
Mr.	ARCHAMBAULT:	Item	199	is
fisheries protection service.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That is Naval
Service.
Mr.	ARCHAMBAULT:	Item	200	is
Radio-telegraphic service, and 201	is tidal
and current survey.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Those are Naval Service items.


Joseph Archambault: The only item is 197. The only reason why the Chairman ruled that this discussion was in order was the fact that there was no other item in the Estimates on which this discussion could take place. Even if the hon. member will hold one item, it will not be in order to-morrow to discuss this special deal on that item.	*


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: To show that I am not trying to shut off debate at all-I would like to make progress to-night-I will table all the information that has been asked for, and I want it understood now, if the Chairman will allow me, that hon. members have the right to discuss this question again. Let me point out to my hon. friend that I am on the Naval Service Estimates which amount to $3,726,980. They are all Naval Service Estimates. I would ask the Chair again if he does no# consider that all these Estimates are Naval Service Estimates; they are not fishery items nor marine items; they are Naval Service items.	.


Joseph Archambault: I submit that even with the consent of the minister, the chairman could not allow the discussion of this matter on any other item.


Georges Henri Boivin: In previous sessions it has often occurred that an item has been allowed to stand in the Estimates of one of the ministers with the understanding that any subject concerning his de-

partment could be discussed upon that particular item. I am sure that by unanimous consent this discussion could be resumed upon some other item, if the committee now wishes this item to pass and to proceed to other items.


Frank S. Cahill: Did I understand you to say, Mr. Chairman, that it would require unanimous consent to discuss this matter on some other item at a later date?


Georges Henri Boivin: Strictly speaking, it would require unanimous consent, but if the hon. members of the Opposition desire to discuss a matter, and the minister in charge of the Estimates desires to allow the discussion, unanimous consent is generally given.


Joseph Archambault: It is not a
matter of certainty.


Jacques Bureau: We could let this item stand until we get the papers, and take up the other items, leaving this one open for further discussion.


Georges Henri Boivin: That would be the best way out of the difficulty. Another way would be to obtain the unanimous consent of the committee now that on a certain item to be specified by the hon. minister, this discussion would be in order at a later date.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: It is very questionable whether this committee or Parliament can bind itself in advance as to what it is going to do, and particularly bind members who are not now present. Members are absent from both sides of the House, and I am not so sure that we could make such a ruling, outside of an Act of Parliament itself, that would be binding upon them.
The Minister of Marine and Fisheries is not going to get off as easily as he thinks. He is practically a new man in the House, and every minister before he is very long in harness learns that the less he says in putting through his Estimates, and the closer he keeps to the item under discussion, the better off he is. The minister to-night swung off into a full discussion of the naval policy, and told us of the sins of omission and commission of both parties for the last fifteen years. He is not going to escape after his fling at this side of the House to-night without hearing something about it.
The hon. minister was not in the House in 1909 when the naval policy of Canada was first discussed, but if he will look up

the discussion in Hansard of March 30, 1909, he will see that hon. gentlemen now sitting around him who were in the House at that time voted unanimously with us on this side in favour of the Laurier naval policy. There was not a single dissenting voice to that resolution. The Laurier policy received the full and ample support of every man in the House. Now the minister comes here to-night, twelve or more years later, and taunts us about the Laurier naval policy. The Laurier naval policy had its basis in the resolution moved by the present Minister of Trade and Commerce, then the Hon. George E. Foster. The Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was then leader of the Government, accepted his resolution with very slight changes and with those very slight changes the whole Parliament accepted the resolution upon which was based the Naval Act of 1910. If my hon. friend the Minister of Marine and Fisheries wants to resurrect the question of the conduct of his party and the reasons for their rightabout face in connection with the naval policy of Canada, I shall have no hesitation at all in discussing that matter with ' him. The naval policy was all right at that time, but in the early part of 1910, I think, an election was held in Drum-mond-Arthabasca, in the province of Quebec. It was found that the naval policy of Laurier which has been agreed to by every man in this House, was not popular with some people in the province of Quebec, so at once there was a volte-face by hon. gentlemen opposite, and they at once threw to the winds the naval policy of Laurier which they had supported. When the right hon. gentleman who is now Minister of Trade and Commerce was asked by some gentlemen in Quebec: What shall we do in this election? Shall we vote for those who are opposing the policy for the defence of Canada and the defence of Great Britain? Shall we vote against that policy? What did the right hon. gentleman then say? What does it matter whether they are refusing to do anything for Great Britain or not? Anything to beat Laurier. That was the policy of the gentlemen amongst whom my hon. friend the Minister of Marine and Fisheries now takes refuge, and upon whose company he prides himself. At that time it suited him better, perhaps, to be with us supporting the Laurier policy. I say that the hon. gentleman has no business, just because he happens to renege from his party and take shelter with the party opposite,

to taunt us because we were with him in supporting the policy of that time. He ought at least to have modesty enough to say nothing about the policy that he was supporting himself then. I think it ill becomes any man-I care not who he is- who, after supporting a certain policy at one time, leaves his party for some reason or other to befoul those who were formerly with him on the policy which he supported. There is nothing at all to be proud of in this matter. The hon: gentleman says that they have a new navy and a new policy. I want to ask the Conservative party when, where, and on what occasion they agreed upon a new naval policy? There is not a single man of independent standing on the Government side who is in favour of this naval policy. The main body of their support, they say, they have from Ontario. I tell them on my responsibility that there is no enthusiasm in Ontario or among Ontario members in regard to this new navy. In the first sitting of the Borden Administration in 1912 the then Minister of Naval Affairs, Mr. Hazen, shortly after he came into the House, in a speech declared that the naval policy of the Laurier Administration was abandoned once for all; it was not the policy of the Borden Government. He said they had no policy, that they were going to England the next year, and after a consultation on the other side the Government would announce their policy. Any one who reads Mr. Hazen's speech on that occasion will find that statement therein contained. Their next declaration was this, that we could not build ships on this side. They said it would take fifty years to build anything worth mentioning; that is what the leader of the Government at that time informed us. They decided to abandon any naval policy and to take $35,000,000 and purchase some ships from the Old Country and bring them over here in the name of Canada. That was their policy. It was defeated in the Senate after it had been forced through the House under closure, and we heard nothing whatever about the policy until to-night when the minister informs us we have a brand-new navy and naval policy, and that we have wiped out the old naval policy of the Laurier Administration. There is absolutely no foundation for such a statement. The matter was never submitted to the people, as was promised, and that being the case the minister has no mandate to have these vessels in his possession; nor have we the right to vote this money if we have any regard for the wishes of the people. There
was no question of this kind before the people in 1917. The people, in fact, took it for granted that the Laurier policy had been abandoned by this Government, and they had every reason to suppose that they would be consulted on any question of a navy before any particular policy was adopted. The Government did not submit the matter to them in 1917, and the people to-day have the right to suppose that we are not going to invest in any naval affairs or launch on any permanent policy until the matter is pronounced upon by them. This discussion has been precipitated to-night by the minister's taunting us with having had a false navy policy. Well, whatever our policy might have been, it was concurred in absolutely and completely by both sides of the House. If it was a good policy we are all entitled to credit for it, and if it was bad we are all equally responsible, and we must not find very much fault with the Rolling Mills of St. John for not standing by their word if the part of Parliament composed of hon. gentlemen opposite have not enough respect for the resolution they passed in 1909 to abide by the consequences of that resolution. Everything in connection with this navy should be thoroughly investigated, and this matter should not pass until we have some information in regard to the way the business of the department is carried on. It will not impose any hardship on the minister to let this item stand. He could go on with other items and get the necessary information in regard to this matter in the meantime. I do say, with more or less feeling, that I deprecate the idea of the minister launching upon a tirade practical abuse of hon. gentlemen on this side of the House, their policy and their leaders. The policy which he is now so vigorously advocating is one for which he has no authority from the people; he had no mandate from the people to receive this gift. The vessels were only in the way in the Old Country; they did not know where to put them and threw them off their hands upon the minister, so that we should have the large expense in connection with them. No doubt the minister is in full sympathy with them in having vessels which they do not know what to do with. He can appreciate their position when he himself has sixty-five or seventy such craft which he is crowding into every mill pond in every part of the country so long as he can get them out of sight. On that principle, no doubt, he is willing to go to the assistance of those who have

such ships as they cannot dispose of. We have no use for these ships that have been given us. I hope they will never be used, and I cannot see why we should expend money in connection with them that can and ought to be spent to better purpose. I do not think that the minister can defend a policy of spending money just for the glory of having a navy for which we have no use.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: As we have spent three hours now discussing the sale of the Niobe, and in order to give hon. members all the information that they ask for by tabling the facts, as I have promised to do to-morrow, I move that further consideration of this item be postponed, and I hope that hon. members will allow the other items to pass as we come to them.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
Item stands.
Fisheries Protection Service and to provide for the repairs and maintenance of the Fishery-protection steamers, $370,000.
Daniel Duncan McKenzie: What provisions are made for coastal protection in the Maritime Provinces this year?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: We have two fishery protection vessels in service in the Maritime Provinces and also two which are laid up. We have not sufficient money to keep the four in commission.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Pay of temporary officers and clerks at Headquarters, at Halifax and Esquimau Dockyards, $40,000.
Mr. CANNON:: How long will these
employees be needed?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The item of $40,000 is for the pay of temporary officers and clerks at headquarters, Halifax and Esquimalt dock yards. The work is just of a temporary nature.


Lucien Cannon: That is what the item
says. I want to know how long they will be there?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That is a pretty
hard question to answer; it is difficult to say how long they will be there. We do not intend to keep them any longer than is absolutely necessary.


Lucien Cannon: The time they will be
kept will be proportionate to their usefulness. How long will they be useful, and what are they doing?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The permanent
organization of the department is based on

minimum requirements, and makes no allowance for emergencies, temporary pressure of work, unforeseen absence through illness or other causes, et cetera. The sum provided under this head is for the purpose of meeting such emergencies.


Lucien Cannon: I do not want to detain
the Committee but I would like to ascertain the exact services of these officers?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: They are doing
what ever work the permanent employees do. They may be sometimes employed at clerical work and sometimes at other work. As I say, we are asking this vote to employ these men in a temporary capacity until such times as the Civil Service Commission give us the necessary permanent staff.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Fisheries: To provide for salaries, construction and maintenance of fish breeding establishments, $365,000.	[DOT]
John Howard Sinclair: I am
chiefly concerned with the lobster hatcheries which have been abandoned by the department, and I want to know what the minister has done in the direction of substituting something in their place. I am told that on the Atlantic coast where those lobster hatcheries were, we are back now pretty much to the old method of catching the seed lobster and boiling it in the pot, and losing the seed. That is what I feared would happen when the minister undertook to abolish the system that had been in operation for a number of years. The minister will remember that his predecessors had established a large number of these hatcheries on the coast, but that-on the advice given him by some theorist in the city of Kingston, some professor who learnt his knowledge of fish out of a book

the minister, without consulting the House, or telling the members from the Maritime Provinces anything about it, closed the hatcheries all along the coast and sold them, and destroyed the system that had been built up in the course of many years. I would like to know if the minister has any information to give us as to what he proposes to do in the future in regard to that branch of the service.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. member, I think, is aware that the reason
12 p.m. we closed these lobster hatcheries was because it was in the interest of the greater production of lobsters. Under the hatchery system the production of young fry was only about 30 per cent as compared with 100 per cent in the natural way when the female lobster

extrudes her eggs. Therefore in the interest of the lobster industry, and especially as lobsters were becoming more and more scarce, we sold those old lobster hatcheries. But we have improved the regulations. We have expert men going down through those districts lecturing to the fishermen, and we are doing everything we can for the better care of the lobster industry and to secure greater production as well.


John Howard Sinclair: If the
argument of' the minister is any good it would apply to other fish as well as lobsters. He is carrying on the breeding of fish of various kinds on the coast and he is asking us to vote large sums of money for that purpose. If his argument that the lobster can be better propagated in the natural way than by any other method is a good one it applies equally to trout, bass, or any of the other varieties of fish that he is propagating. I think he will find it difficult to maintain such an argument. Instead of 30 per cent production of lobsters I question if we are getting any percentage of production at all. The minister apparently is not familiar with the history of this branch of the service. The experience at first was that these seed lobsters were destroyed: they were caught by the fishermen, thrown into the basket with the others, put into the pot in the factories and boiled. The hatcheries were built for the purpose of saving those lobsters that happened to be caught in that way. Inducements were offered to the fishermen to save the seed. That seed went into the hatchery and my hon. friend admits 30 per cent of lobsters were rescued. At present I am told that none are rescued, so that 30 per cent was better than nothing. I would like if my hon. friend could give me any proof that he is getting even a 30 per cent production out of the lobsters that are caught in the traps with seed on them.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I do not pose as an authority on lobsters or fish generally. I can only give the advice tendered by scientific men, who have informed me that lobster eggs are fertilized and that the female lobster really hatches each one. Therefore, the propagation is very much larger in the natural way when the lobster is free.


John Howard Sinclair: But
are not those female lobsters caught?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: We have carried on a propaganda for some years to prevail upon fishermen not to catch these small female lobsters, and when they do
catch them to put them hack in the sea again.


John Howard Sinclair: Has
my hon. friend sold all the lobster hatcheries on the coast? I understood there were about thirty.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes, they are all sold.


Auguste Théophile Léger: Has the hatchery at Buctouche in the county of Kent been sold? If so, to whom and for what amount?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I find I was incorrect in that statement. They are all sold but two, and one of those two is the Buctouche hatchery,


John Howard Sinclair: Where is the other one?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am sorry I
cannot tell just where the other lobster hatchery is located that is not sold.


John Howard Sinclair: How
much has been received for those hatcheries?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Canso, $1,750;
Shippigan, $610; House harbour, $760; Port Daniel, $775; Arichat, $1,000; Little Bras d'Or, $1,605; Georgetown, $555; Charlottetown, $700; Bay View, $650; Shemogue, $150; Antigonish, $635; Inverness, $350.50.


Alexander William Chisholm: The minister made reference to the results of the investigation by scientists of this question. Were these scientists unanimous?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I believe so.


Alexander William Chisholm: My information is
that one of the head scientists of his own department, Professor Prince, did not endorse the policy of the Government in disposing of these hatcheries. If that is so, I do not quite agree with the minister that the question was decided correctly. Professor Prince was brought to this country many years ago, and he made a particular study of our lobsters. According to my information he opposed this policy of the Government, but I understand a few professors gathered themselves down by the seashore for a few months-enjoying themselves no doubt-and decided this question as against a man who had studied the question in the Old Country and had twenty years' experience. The first lobster hatchery established in this country was in 1896 at Pictou, and my information is that the particular zone supplied by the fry from



[Stage Direction]
that hatchery maintained a supply of lobsters much larger than those in any other zone along the coast of Prince Edward Island and around Pictou. This would go a long way to convince me that those hatcheries were doing good work, and that the only thing necessary was careful administration of each hatchery and giving the experiment time to prove itself. There were many features connected with the operation of those hatcheries which in my judgment did not contribute to good results, but rather to the very destruction of the lobsters. I would suggest that if the thirty per cent of fry gathered in the hatcheries was preserved, that is a much larger percentage than is preserved now under natural conditions. The fry of lobsters is subject to great destruction in its early stages, and that was the main reason for establishing these hatcheries. My belief is that they will yet be reopened at a much greater cost than the minister has received at this sale. These hatcheries were closed and sold over-night. In fact, they were sold in such a way as to indicate that the minister was eager to get clear of them, just as in the same department they closed up some of the life-saving stations overnight.
Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The biological
board unanimously recommended that we close up these hatcheries, and Professor Prince as a member of that board concurred in its decision and also with the report that Professor Knight made. I can only go by the advice of our scientific officers. With regard to the sale of the hatcheries, we called for public tenders, and it has taken us almost two years to sell them.


John Howard Sinclair: Scientific officers may be all right in theory, but they do not know the history of the lobster along the Atlantic coast. The minister has not answered the difficulty I have raised in regard to the matter, and that is that the mother lobster is being destroyed. Through the hatchery method he says we preserved thirty per cent of the fry. Well, we are losing that thirty per cent now and the lobster industry is suffering to that extent. It is very easy for a professor to go into his office and make up his mind that the natural method is the best, and I agree with him, but he must have some regard for the fact that these female lobsters are being caught and destroyed. The whole purpose of building these hatcheries was to save those lobsters. My hon. friend should have consulted the
(Mr. Chisholm.}
House of Commons. There are a large number of men in this House representing Maritime constituencies who have had more experience in this matter than this professor at Kingston. But my hon. friend ignored the members of the House; he did not give them an opportunity of expressing an opinion in the matter before he came to a decision. If he had had the usual respect for the members of the House he would have come to them and told them that he was going to reverse a policy that had been followed for twenty-five years- that he was going to dispose of these hatcheries; then we would have been able to explain matters to him and perhaps cause him to change his mind. But he listened altogether to these scientific men who live a thousand miles from the coast and who do not know anything about the history of the lobster industry or of lobster breeding in that country. He did not even tell the members from the Maritime Provinces what he was going to do; he simply put the lobster hatcheries up to auction. Surely that course cannot be justified. The minister has to do more now; he has to show that we are saving that 30 per cent, and he has not been able to show it. My information is that we are losing and that the lobster industry is being depleted for want of the hatcheries.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: This matter was brought before the Standing Committee of this House on Fisheries and was very thoroughly discussed so that I did not by any means close the hatcheries, simply on information that I got from the scientific officers. They were not sold for a year, and the matter was thoroughly gone into by this committee. I wish to point out also that before we closed the hatcheries and changed the regulations it was not illegal for fishermen to catch the small female lobsters and take them to the canneries where the eggs were brushed off. It is now illegal to do that, and we have taken many important and useful steps by our regulations to improve materially the conditions of the lobster industry. From information I have received from the practical as well as the scientific officers of the department and from hon. members of the House,
I.am satisfied that this is the case.


John Howard Sinclair: I do
not like to contradict the minister, but I have attended the meetings of the Fisheries Committee ever since I have been a member of this House and I have never heard that the question of the closing of the lobster

hatcheries was submitted to that committee. It is news to me.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I want to make
it quite clear to my hon. friend: I did not submit to the committee the question of the closing of the hatcheries. I said that the department decided on the advice of practical and scientific men that it would be wise to close them, but before selling them the matter was thoroughly discussed before the Standing Committee of the House on Fisheries and the hatcheries were not sold until a year after they were closed.


John Howard Sinclair: Some
of them were sold and a protest was entered by members, including myself, to which the minister paid no attention. Of course, the fact that we were protesting as I am doing to-night did not affect the matter. The minister did not make any further investigation; he accepted the advice of the men whom he calls the scientific gentlemen. The minister is not able to show by the reports of his officers along the coast that he is saving the lobsters that were being utilized in the hatcheries. At least, he is not giving us any evidence to that effect; my information is that they are not being saved.


Auguste Théophile Léger: I would ask the minister
not to dispose of the Buctouche hatchery at least for a year or so. Many of the people on the shore believe that it is useful, and if it is decided not to close it up the same hatchery might be used for future operations.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Ocean and river service

to provide for the temporary relief of distressed seamen and to cover the expenses of shipping forms-further amount required, $3,500.
Daniel Duncan McKenzie: The minister is no
doubt aware that the marine hospital at Louisburg has been closed. May I have the minister's attention? Perhaps he is not sufficiently interested in the seamen to listen to a member when he is putting his case. If he is not, I will prefer the matter on some future occasion.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I was listening
to my hon. friend. About two years ago the matters affecting sick mariners were transferred to the Department of Health. This item is to provide for the temporary relief of distressed seamen-to bring to their home ports those who may be wrecked.


Alexander William Chisholm: With respect to this
hospital in Louisburg, I happened to be before another minister of the Government yesterday with respect to hospitals and he assured me that one of the remedies for my difficulty was that there was a hospital at Louisburg.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am sorry, but
I do not know anything about the marine hospitals; they come under my colleague, the Minister of Health.


Mr. ELKIN:: Can the minister tell us
how much was transferred from the Marine Department to the Health Department arising out of the sick mariner's benefit fund?


Mr. CALDER:: The moneys derived by
way of levy for this purpose form part of the general revenue; they do not constitute a special fund.


Stanley Edward Elkin: Quite a number of hospitals in the seaport towns were supported to some extent by the Marine Department out of this fund-that is, certain beds were maintained in those hospitals for sick mariners. Many of the hospitals have complained that the per diem allowance for these beds is not sufficient. Last year we tried to get a further allowance on that account, for St. John, but it was just at the time that this transfer was being made. I then maintained that if there was a large fund which had been collected by way of mariners' dues at least the interest should be devoted to the payment of a larger per diem allowance in these hospitals in order to give the sailors better accommodation. In St. John the accommodation is not sufficient to take care of sick mariners who are there in the winter season. In fact, in a great many cases the people of St. John are unable to get into the public hospital. A larger wing or something of that sort should be built to take care of these sick mariners, and the same applies to the other ports in the Maritime Provinces where contributions to this fund are rather large. I should like to bring this matter to the attention of the Minister of Health (Mr. Calder), to whom this matter has now been transferred.


James Alexander Calder: I assume the whole discussion is out of order; but I might state that the revenues derived from the Maritime Provinces this year are not as large as the expenditures, and I doubt very much if there is any fund such as that to which my hon. friend refers.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
[Stage Direction]
Lighthouse and coast service-signal service -further amount required, $4,000.
William Stevens Fielding: I have heard complaints made about the absence of telephones in lighthouses. I think I once made some inquiries of the department, and I was informed that it was not considered to be good policy that telephones should be supplied to light keepers. I have here, if the House will bear with me for a minute, an extract from a newspaper which seems to illustrate the need for telephones from lighthouses to the mainland. This is from an item in the Shelburne Gazette of a few days ago:	.
Messrs. Robert D. McKay and Frank Owen, of this town, had an exciting experience on Saturday last while fishing between Gray's Island and Gull Rock.
Their motor boat refused to go and for sometime they were pitched about in lively style by the waves which were big enough to make life in an unmanageable motor boat anything but pleasant. Fortunately they were seen by Beaumont Decker, keeper of the Light on McNutt's Island, who walked between two and three miles to give the alarm. Two boats put off to rescue of the two fishermen, one containing Sydney Slate and the other Stanford Kenney and Freeman Atwood and it was not long before the men were towed to terra firma.
They lost their dory and a tub of trawl and had an experience they do not wish to have repeated.
This was a case in which there was danger; the lightkeeper saw the danger, but he had to walk two miles in order to give an alarm. That is an illustration of the fact that lightkeepers should be provided with telephones. Would the minister give consideration to that?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I shall be glad to give every consideration to the suggestion of my hon. friend. We have not the money this year; but it is a matter that should receive attention, and as soon as the finances of the country will permit, I hope we may have telephones, at least in some of the most important stations.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Fisheries-to provide for the expenses of counsel in the Quebec fisheries reference before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, $21,645.55.
Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Can the minister give us any idea what is the result of the decision of the Privy Council?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Privy Council a few months ago gave a decision under which we are now acting, namely that
fisheries in navigable streams leading from the sea were no longer vested in Provincial Governments, but were under the Federal Government. Therefore, we have notified the Provincial Government at Quebec that all these fisheries in navigable streams leading from the sea now come under the Federal authorities, and all those that were not licensees must apply to the Department of Marine and Fisheries.

Item agreed to.
Ottawa Parliament buildings-restoration,
$1,000,000. [DOT]
Georges Henri Boivin: 1 This is the item which was under discussion this afternoon when the committee rose at six o'clock.
Mr. MeCURDY: One or two members wish to discuss this item further, and it had better stand.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I would suggest to the minister that when he brings this item on again, it would be well for him if possible to have the original contract with the contractor and the contract with the architect. We would like to know what those contracts are, particularly the one with the architect, and when the terms of the first contract became exhausted, what was the nature of the second arrangement that was made under which the architect is getting paid now.
Progress reported.
